When to use Classic Workflow & Power Automate in Dataverse & Power Apps


This article discusses when to use classic workflows and Power Automate in Dataverse and Power Apps. It provides a comparison table highlighting the features of both options, including licensing requirements, sync/async capabilities, connection support, and complexity of actions. Classic workflows are part of the Dataverse feature and can be used for both sync and async processes, but they only support Dataverse connections and cannot handle complex actions. On the other hand, Power Automate requires a separate license, operates asynchronously, supports external cloud data sources, and allows for complex actions. The article aims to help solution architects and developers make informed decisions based on their specific business requirements.
