When you create a button, you can use trigger tokens to add rich functionality to your button.


In this walk-through, we will create a button flow on an Android device. The button flow will use trigger tokens to send the date and your full address in a "Working from home" email to your boss.


In this walk-through, you will see screen-shots from an Android device, however, the experience is similar on iOS and Windows Phone devices as well.
