What is Microsoft Flow?
Microsoft Flow helps you to combine two or more services on the Cloud and make your work simple with the help of it. Microsoft gives you 35 and more connections free of cost; including services like SharePoint and OneDrive too with public software services like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Condition allows you to perform one or more tasks only if a particular condition is true.
