Create Power Automate Flow that triggers on Demand

Let start by finding When a record is Selected

 

 

Note:- This component belongs to the old Common Data Service, I have noticed you can use it with the new Common Data Service, which is good in my book.

 

For our example here we are going to select Accounts as our Entity, you can enter your environment under Environment, it will take the URL of the environment you are targeting.

If you have any parameters to pass to the Flow you can select any of the following Inputs

•        Text
•        Yes/No
•        File
•        Email
•        Number
•        Date

Text

1.       Add drop-down list options :- will give you the ability to add dropdown values

2.       Add a multi-select list option :- as it name explains it will give you the ability to add multiselect

3.       Mas as Optional :- By default the Text is always required so if you want the Text Imput to be optional you select this one

4.       Delete:- this will remove the Input

 

Yes/No, File, Email, Number, and Date

1.       Make Field required :- it will set the input as required

2.       Delete

Something to Note:-

While working with this component it might look like you have access to every field of the selected Entity, that is quite deceiving, you have access only the Id , User and Input Parameters.

 

For Steps that follow the trigger we can select Components of the new common Data service

 

To access the Account Id you can use the following Expression

triggerBody()?[‘entity’]?[‘Field Name’]

for this scenario

triggerBody()?[‘entity’]?[‘accountid’]

You will be able to access the Flow from the View or the Form
