Platform overview
A 3-minute walk-through of how a workflow comes together: describe what you want in plain English, review the generated workflow on the canvas, wire up your connections, publish, and watch the runs come in.
The video opens in a new tab. The first time you click, you may be asked to sign in with your work account — the asset is hosted on SharePoint while the platform is in private preview.

The shortlink
