Microsoft Integration Apps
Integration Opportunity:
Microsoft Power Automate (formerly Flow) is an online workflow service that enables you to work smarter and more efficiently. It makes it practical and simple for line-of-business users to build workflows that automate time-consuming business tasks and processes across applications and services.
In addition to Flow, Microsoft also offers two other integration platforms: PowerApps and Azure Logic Apps. Features overlap between these three tools, and building a connector for one services makes it easy for Left Hook to enable it for the other two.

User Experience Notes Explained
MS Power Automate is natively used within Microsoft’s own products (i.e. Sharepoint, Excel, etc.). A SaaS can embed the Flow Builder into its UI to keep users on-site, but an authenticated Microsoft account is still required.
Logic Apps is a part of the larger Azure tooling.
PowerApps is a stand-alone UI.
