Zoho Mail integration in Microsoft Power Automate

Microsoft Power Automate previously known as Microsoft Flow is a cloud automation tool that helps users to create workflows to automate repetitive tasks. These workflows help a user connect different applications and services with the help of connectors.

The integration of Zoho Mail with the Microsoft Power platform will help users manage emails and perform actions such as saving them as drafts, and triggering flows when new emails arrive. The Zoho Mail connector in the MS Power platform works based on a trigger and action model helping users to send out custom emails or send emails using predefined templates.
