Microsoft Power Automate, previously known as Microsoft Flow until November 2019,[1] is a SaaS platform by Microsoft for optimizing and automating workflows and business processes. It is part of the Microsoft Power Platform line of products, which include Power Apps and Power BI.[citation needed]
History
On November 1, 2016, Microsoft Flow (now Microsoft Power Automate) became generally available.[2] Similar to services like IFTTT and Zapier, users could connect between cloud apps and services with automated workflows known as flows.
On November 4, 2019, Microsoft announced a rebranding of Microsoft Flow to Microsoft Power Automate and its inclusion in Microsoft Power Platform with a shift from solely workflows to also include business processes. At the same time, a number of new functions were announced, including robotic process automation (RPA) capabilities.[3]
In 2020, Microsoft acquired Softomotive,[4] the makers of ProcessRobot and WinAutomation, to further expand the capabilities in Power Automate.
In 2022, Microsoft acquired Minit[5] to further expand its process mining capabilities in Power Automate.
