Track Power Automate execution with Workflow() function

Power Automate can be used to automate many repetitive tasks and also automate simple to complex business processes.

When a Power Automate (flow) executes, with the provided user interface, we can see all the details of the execution.

Power Automate provided workflow() function which return all the details about the workflow itself during run time.
