But we all know that Microsoft is moving towards Power Automate, also known as Microsoft Flow. Classic Workflows are only limited to Microsoft Dynamics 365 CRM applications but that is not the case with Power Automate. Power Automate, formerly known as Microsoft flow spans across multiple applications and web-based services like thereby having an edge over classic workflows. Also, Microsoft has been releasing new updates in Power Automate every now and then. Keep checking Inogic blog to know more about Power Automate.
