Using Power BI with Microsoft Flow and PowerApps

Power BI's tools and services are built to derive meaning and insights from data as well as to make those insights accessible to others. While these are both essential functions, Power BI itself doesn't execute business decisions or business user actions based on the data it represents. Additionally, information workers regularly interface with many applications or services and thus to remain productive there's a need to automate workflows and embed logic between Power BI and these applications to streamline business processes. PowerApps and Microsoft Flow, both Office 365 applications and part of the Business Application Platform along with Power BI, serve to address these needs by enabling business users to create custom business applications and workflow processes via graphical user interface tools.
