You can now manage tasks on mobile devices with Windows 10 thanks to the Flow Beta

Android or iOS users will probably be familiar with IFTTT. It is a program that allows you to manage, schedule and optimize all kinds of tasks between applications. Publishing on a blogger at a certain time, when making a publication on Flickr the same thing happens on Tumblr and Instagram... many examples for a more than interesting application that Microsoft wants to stand up to.

And it is that from Redmond they have announced that Flow, the service that aims to compete with IFTTT and that seeks to improve the productivity of people at work automating tasks between their own types of services and some third-party services, Is Now Available in Beta for Windows 10 Mobile Devices

In this way and thanks to Microsoft Flow we can automatically assign and schedule tasks among more than 100 services that it supports . An automation that is carried out in a very similar way to that offered by IFTTT, which works through relationships that we have previously established.

"

By means of the so-called flows>we establish a cause and effect relationship between two applications. If, for example, we upload such content in OneNote, we want it to be registered in our agenda and a new task to be added at the same time. Or that if we receive an email from this or that person, send us an email."

The possibilities in this sense are enormous and once we try it it becomes a tool tremendously addictive due to the ease of use that it gives to our daily tasks.In this way Flow sees its presence grow, since it was already present in iOS and Android, now reaching Windows 10 (it is curious that being from Microsoft it is the last platform it reaches).

Of course, in the event that you are interested in trying the Beta you will not be able to download it in the traditional way and it is that to do it before you will have to send an email to [email protected] requesting the test. Once we receive a response, we must follow the instructions to participate in the Beta. Did you know IFTTT and have you tried it? And Flow, would you dare to give it a try?
