Create your first flow
In the previous unit we learned about the key concepts such as templates, connectors, actions, and conditions. Here we'll put all of those concepts into practice by building your first flow.
Since it can be time consuming to search for attachments in your emails, creating a flow can save you time by storing all your email attachments in a folder in your Microsoft OneDrive account.
If you would like to see the process of creating different types of flows, watch the following video.
Important concepts in Power Automate
Every flow has two main parts: a trigger, and one or more actions.
Triggers
You can think of the trigger as the starting action for the flow. The trigger can be something like a new email arriving in your inbox or a new item being added to a list in Microsoft Lists.
Actions
Actions are what you want to happen when a trigger is invoked. For example, the new email trigger will start the action of creating a new file on OneDrive. Other examples of actions include sending an email, posting a tweet, and starting an approval.
Every flow has one trigger and one or more actions. Trigger and actions will come into play later when you build your own flows from scratch.
