Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used MPA to make the business processes easier and streamlined (email generation based on task status, document migration from email to SharePoint, etc.). It removes a lot of manual labor from task management and mass communication across a team. I have been able to reduce time spent on remedial projects or tasks.

Pros and Cons

Easy to follow icons to build flows
Simple UI

Maybe adding some drag and drop functionality for building flows

Most Important Features

Automation, obviously
