What is Microsoft Flow? - Update Excel Automatically when New Dropbox File Uploaded

In this video, we answer what is Microsoft Flow? What does it do, and how is it helpful?

During the video, we see a Microsoft Flow example that updates an Excel file whenever a new file is uploaded to a Dropbox folder.

This is just one example of how Flow can automate mundane repetitive tasks. it is a great tool for automatic notifications, email management and data gathering.

Being an Excel channel we have an interest in how tools like this can work with getting data in Excel for analysis.

Very informative and easy to follow. Is there anyway you can make tutorials for Document Control? Training records for associates? Corrective actions for a manufacturing environment?
