Thanks for sharing. Technology just keeps changing, and even if it doesn't change, Microsoft changes the name. ;)

I get the reason for the branding change, but Power Automate sounds so generic. Flow just sounds cooler...

Don't worry. Microsoft will change the product's name again in a few months​. Just to keep us all confused!   ;-)

Microsoft is now using a verb (automate) as a noun.  So if I used to solve a problem by building a Flow, do I now solve the same problem by building an Automate?
