We have new updates and fixes to Microsoft Flow every week<\/a>, and we wanted to highlight some of the new features from the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

Browse templates by service<\/h2>\n

There is a now a way to see all of the services that we support (without having to log in). From this page you can see a description of each of the services, and check out the templates that we have for that service:<\/p>\n

\"Connections\"<\/p>\n

This is a great way to check out templates for the services that you use the most!<\/p>\n

Easily turn your flows on or off<\/h2>\n

When you go to “My flows<\/a>” there’s now a switch for turning your flows off or on. If you have a flow you only want to run at certain times, just flip the switch when you don’t want it running:<\/p>\n

\"On<\/p>\n

Then you can turn it back on when you want to use it again.<\/p>\n

Create and use your custom APIs<\/h2>\n

Just like you can create custom APIs in PowerApps, you can also connect to your own APIs right at flow.microsoft.com<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"Create<\/p>\n

Custom APIs are great if you have a service inside your company that you want to use, or if you want to use a service that Microsoft Flow doesn’t natively connect to yet today. Read more about how to use custom APIs<\/a>, or check out our webinar on the topic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Test your flows before finishing<\/h2>\n

One way to be confident that you flow works as expected is to try it out before you leave. Whenever you save a flow you can now see the results of the flow run live in the page, if you perform the starting action. We include a help tip to show you exactly how to perform the starting action.<\/p>\n

\"Save<\/p>\n

In the example above, the starting action (trigger) for this flow is\u00a0When a file is created\u00a0<\/strong>in OneDrive. So, if you add a file to the OneDrive folder, the flow will run and show you the results right inside of the website.<\/p>\n

Help us to define what to build next!<\/h2>\n

We build new features based on your feedback. Please join us on the Forums<\/a> and submit an idea<\/a> today. If you’re not comfortable sharing an idea publicly, no worries! Just click on the similing face at the top of the screen and our team receives that feedback privately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
