Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 11:30PM 
Microsoft wants to help automate your workflow and take on If This Then That (IFTTT) with a new service called Flow. What IFTTT does is automate various popular web services; for example, automatically save Instagram photos your tag into your Dropbox account. For Flow, it wants to do something similar. It connects to services such as Twitter, Slack, Google Drive, Office 365, and Dropbox. Microsoft has different flows you can do like being able to generate SMS alerts for emails, get Slack notifications when a file is uploaded to Dropbox, and create flows to copy files from OneDrive for Business to SharePoint.
It’s available at the moment as a preview and has over 35 services enabled with more coming each week. It currently works for school or work Office 365 accounts or non-Outlook.com email addresses.
