Some "recipes":
Great service. It's always nice to have another alternative to IFTTT & Zappier. Have you seen any exclusive features?

Thanks Yaniv! Few of the major differences are: 1. Pull frequency (It's 15sec in MS Flow vs 15mins in IFTTT/Zapier) 2. Free business/dev friendly services - GitHub, SharePoint, SQL, Salesforce etc. More services are coming soon. 3. Deep integration with Microsoft services - PowerApps, SharePoint, Bing, PowerBI (coming soon), Office ('Add in' coming soon) 4. Code view in Azure for advanced users and more... :)

Hey , Today we launched an iOS version of Flow, check it out:
What does this do that IFTTT doesn't? 👀
the ability to build Flows with multiple steps, branching logic, and advanced parameters is pretty unique. Easy to get started but there's lots of head room to work with.
Looks promising, but not open to 'personal' email addresses. :-( Mind you, fun to see the message "outlook.com isn't in our system" on a Microsoft site. :-)

coming later next week! :)
Great news, I'll lok out for it.
later next week was already a week ago. Still getting the same errors. :(

A peek into the Microsoft Flow design process:
any google apps recipes ?
Maker
Google drive and Google sheets are coming really soon...we had to pull them out last minute due to some bugs...
We just built for Zapier and I'd be interested in building a connector for this, but it looks like there's a Windows requirement to download the software.
it's a web service; nothing to download. Would love to get you plugged in with our partner team! Ping w your details if interested.
Definitely interested. I hit a wall with the developer docs when it asked me to download the PowerApps Studio in order to build any apps. paul [a] brandfolder.com - thanks!
will reach out! PowerApps (PowerApps.com) is actually a separate product for building web and mobile apps connected to many of the same sources; that is indeed a Windows app for now. But Flows you can build fully right in the browser. We can prob be more clear about that in the docs; will spruce 'em up :)
Really cool. I have recently been finding that iftt is about one level of detail short of what i need sometimes. Excited to give this a try.
Would any of those services support recurring tasks? I've used ifttt and zapier but haven't figure out a way. It would be great for a task like "every morning post a gist of all the labeled 'needs review' PR from Github to Slack".

that's the first action we've in creation - Recurrence. You can also find some templates built around it - daily send me top Bing news, get daily reminders in Email etc.
that's awesome, closer from Turing complete! Will sure check it out because of this.
What's with "You entered a personal email address. Please enter your work or school email address to continue." ?
Maker
I wish I had a good answer for you. But it's one of those things that will take time, but our team is working on it.
"Your password must be 8-16 characters and combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and any of these symbols: ! @ # $ % ^ & * - _ + = [ ] | \ : ' , . ? / ` ~ "( ) ;" Huge sigh every time I come up against one of these barn doors written by developers in an office with no view of the real world!
