What you can do by integrating with Microsoft Flow
Microsoft Flow is a Web service that allows users to integrate with various services however they want, including Kintone, SharePoint, Dropbox, Slack, email, Excel, and so on. By using Microsoft Flow, its supported services can be integrated with Kintone. Data registered to Kintone can be reflected in the integrated services, and also data registered to the integrated services can be reflected in Kintone.
For example:
- Notifying Kintone when an email client, such as Outlook, receives an email
- When a record has been added to a Kintone app, registering it as an event in Google Calendar

What you can do by integrating with Google Hangouts Chat
Google Hangouts Chat is the enterprise chat service in Google’s “G Suite” groupware. By adding the Kintone bot in Google Hangouts Chat room and sending a message, you can create an app in Kintone and add records to an app.
- The bot can create three types of apps: “Inventory Management”, “Job Openings”, and “Candidate Management”.
- Chat messages in Kintone bot, help pages of the bot, and apps created by the bot are available in English only.

What you can do by integrating with Slack
Slack is an enterprise chat service. By integrating Slack with Kintone, you can send a notification using a Slack direct message to the person who has been set as the assignee of the task. This feature is useful when you manage tasks using a Kintone App and Slack.

Is this feature available now?
Hi Cari,
Yes, the Integrations feature for Microsoft Flow is now available.
How do I connect it to Microsoft Flow? When I search Flow for the Kintone Connector, it comes up blank.
Hi Cari,
Oops! Just found out the Kintone Connector has not been published on Microsoft Flow yet. We've been told this should be published by the end of January. We'll let you know when this is live!
Hi Larissa, thanks for your help so far! Is the connector live yet?
Hi Nim,
The Kintone Connector is live and can be found on Microsoft's website! You can check it out here: https://bit.ly/2HWNBLh
Best,
Larissa
