Microsoft’s IFTTT-like Flow is now out of beta

Microsoft Flow, a service that lets you plumb together various cloud-based services to construct workflows, and PowerApps, a tool to enable non-developers to build data-driven business apps, are both out of beta and in production today.

Flow and PowerApps join Power BI, Microsoft's service for reporting and analyzing business data, to make a trio of cloud-driven business tools called the "Business Application Platform." Power BI lets business types examine and understand their data, PowerApps lets them create new data, and Flow lets them take automated action in response to data. The common feature to all three is that they're designed for non-developers: you don't need to learn APIs and programming languages to use these services; you just have to understand the data you're working with.
