Hello,

I have enabled MS Flow for D365 9.0 instance and get great Flow button on the ribbon. When I create a new flow from action from ribbon

 D365Flow.JPG

it proposes this template

and after having created a flow from this template I don't see it in CRM, it show only "Create a flow" and "See your flows" as on the first image.

How I can create and run a flow against current record?

    Flows can't be triggered on demand in the way that an on-demand workflow can be.

    They can however be written to be triggered when a record of type X is created, updated or deleted (in the same way that a workflow is triggered) provided that change tracking has been enabled on the entity.

    The real advantage of Flow is it's ability to access external systems for instance calling out to Flow's serial approval system or providing the means to schedule a search every day and triggering a second process when on the returned record set (say to send a Happy Birthday Email and discount or to send a task reminder).
