Understanding Power Automate Triggers – Which should we use and when?

Written by Jonathon Silva | May 13, 2022

Part of my new Power Automate Basics Series, Episode 2 is all about using and understanding flow triggers in Power Automate.  Follow along with me as I describe the three flow trigger options available with Power Automate and how to use them in different flow types.  I create flows for each of the trigger types (Event, Manual, and Recurrence) at Power Automate and explain the different use cases for each. Make sure to watch out for my explanation on how edit the triggers, making them unique to each need you have.

Stay tuned for Episode 3 where I discuss conditional logic inside of a flow and how to incorporate different conditions based on your specific preferences.
