Trigger a Power Automate Flow from a Custom Button in Dynamics 365 or Dataverse


This article discusses how to trigger a Power Automate flow from a custom button in Dynamics 365 or Dataverse. The author explores different methods that have been used in the past, such as triggering a flow from an HTTP request or using a hidden field to trigger the flow. However, the author suggests a new method using a custom page that opens as a modal when a command button is selected. The custom page's "OnStart" property then triggers the flow and returns a response to the user when complete. The article provides step-by-step instructions on how to create the custom page and the Power Automate flow.
