If your business is like most, every department has created their version of a form needed to manage human resources, collect information from customers, or build a checklist of tasks to be done for a process. These forms are typically created in Microsoft Word or Excel, and although easy to build, they are not easy to collect the information in one place, and are difficult to use workflow to initiate other tasks once they are completed.
Enter Microsoft Flow, the simple answer to easy forms creation, workflow, and data collection. Flow works hand in hand with Office 365 to easily create interactive forms which can be distributed using a web browser and used within and/or outside your organization. Given its integration with Office 365, data about users can be collected in the background (ex. Department, manager, location) eliminating the need to ask for this information as part of a form. Likewise using the workflow aspects of Flow, once a form is completed it can automatically email someone to start the next step, or allow for approvals/denials, and many other things.
Handling employee expenses manually, not anymore. Asking employees to fill out basic information on hire, not necessary. The possibilities are really endless.
