Integrate your workflow in Kaizala using Microsoft Flow

Important

Microsoft Kaizala has retired on August 31, 2023. We recommend using Microsoft Teams for continued connection, sharing, and collaboration.

Microsoft Flow automates business process by providing a platform to integrate one service with other services. These services are the ones, which are registered on Microsoft flow as Connectors. Learn more about Microsoft Flow. Microsoft Kaizala is now available as a Connector on Microsoft Flow.
