Cloud flows
These are flows that you build with a trigger and then one or more actions. There are a multitude of triggers and actions available such as the arrival of an email from a specific person, or a mention of your company in social media, thanks to the existing connectors.
Business process flows
These flows are built to augment the experience when using Model-driven apps and Microsoft Dataverse. Use these to create a guided experience in your Model-driven apps.
Desktop flows
These robotic process automation (RPA) flows allow you to record yourself performing actions on your desktop or within a web browser. You can then trigger a flow to perform that process for you.
