Microsoft Flow empowers any office worker to perform simple integrations (for example, an approval process on a SharePoint Document Library) without going through developers or IT. Logic Apps can also enable advanced integrations (for example, B2B processes) where enterprise-level Azure DevOps and security practices are required. It's typical for a business workflow to grow in complexity over time. Accordingly, you can start with a flow at first, and then convert it to a logic app as needed.

A flow can call a logic app. A logic app can call a function, and a function can call a logic app. See, for example, [Create a function that integrates with Azure Logic Apps](functions-twitter-email.md).
