Setting Conditions:

The magic happens when you set the conditions that need to be met for your workflow to spring into action. These conditions can be based on data fields, record types, or any other criteria that suits your business needs.

Data Sources:

Your workflow should have access to the necessary data. Dynamics 365 seamlessly integrates with various data sources within the Microsoft ecosystem, including Power BI, Power Apps, and SharePoint, providing a rich source of data for decision-making and execution.
