Connect directly to machines and new machine management for desktop flows
BlogPreviously, you needed to install and configure an on-premises data gateway to trigger your desktop flows from the cloud. We are excited to announce that Power Automate Desktop can now connect your machine directly to the cloud and run desktop flows without the use of a gateway. We have also introduced new machine-management capabilities to help scale your robotic process automation (RPA). Try them out starting today, available in preview.

Introducing the Microsoft Teams connector for Flow
BlogThis week, we’re excited to announce the Microsoft Teams connector for Flow. Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace in Office 365 that bring together people, conversations and content – along with the tools that teams need, so they can easily collaborate to achieve more.
A fun guide to using Power BI with Microsoft Flow
BlogIn Sweden there is a company called Hemglass that delivers ice cream to people’s homes in refrigerated vans. We are going to enter this market and try to beat them at their own game and for that we are going to use Microsoft Flow and Power BI. Using Flow, every morning we will collect the weather forecast and send it to our drivers using Office 365, so they know how much they should stock on their vans. We will also send the data to Power BI so we can store it in our records. We can, after a while, compare the weather data with the sales in our vans and develop a more accurate stock strategy.
Advanced | Flow of the Week: Tracking changes in a deployment
BlogIn a previous blog, we saw how the Microsoft Flow team tracks Flow portal and backend deployments as they get deployed across regions. While knowing which builds are deployed to which region helps during a live site investigation, an equal if not more important piece of information is knowing what changes were deployed as part of a build. Knowing what changes comprise a build and where it is deployed helps assess the impact of a live site incident and take corrective actions accordingly. In this Flow of the Week, we’re developing an end-to-end deployment e-mail notification system and also generating Power BI-based change tracking report without writing a single line of code.
Advanced | Flow of the Week: Notify me on best traffic conditions to drive home

Easily publish your flows to the public gallery, improved custom connector experience and more!
BlogThere are a number of updates this week. Now, it’s easy to publish your flows to the public template gallery and add categories to them. The Office 365 Outlook and Outlook.com connectors have new operations for getting the upcoming events on your calendar. You can run scheduled flows with a single tap on the Flow mobile app, and resubmit your failed flows. Finally, there are several new features in the custom connector experience: create polling triggers, dynamic dropdowns, and test operations inline.
Search by service when you build flows and other new features
BlogMicrosoft Flow has added so many new services (now 90) that it could be hard to find the trigger or action you want. To help, we added browsing by service when you add a trigger or action — so you can see all the actions for each service. Next, inside of the Flow designer you can add Switch blocks to have several branches of parallel logic. We also are adding new functionality in the Office 365 Outlook and Outlook.com services to work with flagged mails, and are adding support to connect to Local or Network File Systems, the payment service Stripe, Informix, DB2 and UserVoice.
