This article is part of the Working with Power Automate series I am writing on my experiences working with the Power Automate, which is part of the Power Platform from Microsoft. I also have a related series of articles on Power Automate with Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC.
There are several types of cloud flow available with Power Automate, but the main one I have been working with recently on projects are the instant flows which are initiated by a user clicking a button in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, soi I thought I would use this as the example in this article.
To create a new instan flow, log into the Power Automate portal and open your solution; tehcnically you don’t need to create your flow in a solution, but best practice dictates that you do develop your flows in a solution and deploy as a managed solution, so I am showing how to do it via a solution.
Click the New » Automation » Cloud Flow » Instant action:
Enter a name for your new flow:
Locate the trigger to use fo the flow; unfortunately, this cannot be searched and you have to scroll and hunt for the required trigger; in this example, I have selected the For a selected record (V3) – Dynamics 365 Business Central trigger.
Click Create to create the flow:
The flow designer will open showing the selected trigger as the first step, from which you can build your flow.
