What type of flow is specifically designed for button triggers in Power Automate?

Instant Flows in Power Automate are specifically designed to be triggered manually, typically through the press of a button. This feature allows users to create flows that can be executed on demand. For example, a user can start an instant flow to perform tasks such as sending an email, posting a message in Teams, or logging information in a database right away, without the need for a predefined schedule or event.

The primary distinction of Instant Flows lies in their ability to allow immediate user interaction, making them particularly valuable for scenarios where timely responses are necessary or when users need to perform specific actions quickly.

In contrast, Scheduled Flows are meant to run at specific times without user intervention, Automated Flows are triggered by specific events like data changes or incoming notifications, and Business Process Flows guide users through steps in a process but are not triggered by a button from user action.
