How Microsoft Flows works?
For creating a flow, you need to know the trigger event and the set of actions which are required to be performed when the criteria is met.
The most common use of flow is to trigger notification on a specific event.
Example: Whenever a Lead or Account is created in CRM then a notification should be sent via text message or email to the sales representative. This could be achieved easily by Microsoft Flows through connectors.
Connectors are basically the API proxy which helps the services to connect with flows.
