# Power Automate in Python

Trigger Power Automate flows, read what they return, turn flows on and off, and read, cancel and resubmit their runs, all from Python services.

## Get started

Start here if this is your first Power Automate connection - create it and trigger a flow from a service, reading back the flow's response.

[Tutorial](https://zato.io/docs/dev/examples/cloud/power-automate/tutorial.html)

service.py

```
# Trigger a flow ..
conn = self.microsoft.power_platform['Zato Power Automate']
result = conn.trigger(flow_id, {
    'customer_id': 'CUST-001',
    'order_total': 1250.50})

# .. and read what it returned.
result['discount_percent']
10
```
