PowerApps are purpose-built apps you can build specifically for your business. You can either save time by using the many predefined templates or build an app from through a simple, drag-and-drop user interface. No coding required!

Design and build a business app from a canvas in Microsoft PowerApps without writing code in a traditional programming language such as C#. Design the app by dragging and dropping elements onto a canvas, just as you would design a slide in PowerPoint. Create Excel-like expressions for specifying logic and working with data. Build apps that integrate business data from a wide variety of Microsoft and third-party sources. Share your app so that users can run it in a browser or on a mobile device, and embed your app so that users can run it in SharePoint, Power BI, or Teams. If you don’t need a custom design and your data is in Common Data Service (CDS) for Apps, you can automatically generate a model-driven app from your business data and processes. This type of app can model forms, views, and other components, and the default UI automatically adjusts to phones, laptops, and other devices.

To capture data in a form, perform or for look-up data records, or scan barcodes, record GPS coordinates, get driving directions, capture a signature or route a document for approval all as part of a workflow, form your mobile devices use Power Apps.

Couple PowerApps with Microsoft Flow, to trigger Dynamics applications ( 200+ solutions are available already to natively connects with Flow )

Use Flow, to create end-to-end business processes that span multiple applications, while sending email notifications or approval requests to all interested internal or external parties .

Employees can access these PowerApps from any mobile device (iOS, Android, other) or fuse a webpage front end (HTML5).
