Flow Trigger 'for a selected item' not showing in non-default environment

Posted on by Langer

When creating a instant cloud flow with trigger "for a selected item" in SharePoint using the default environment it works fine. The flow is available to select in the drop-down list under the Automate menu when a list item is selected.

However, when creating the same type of flow in a a non-default environment like UAT or PROD the flow is not available to select in the drop-down list under the Automate menu. I have re-created the flow several times to different sites and lists but still same problem. When creating a automated cloud flow with trigger "When an item is created" in UAT it works fine.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Does instant cloud flow with trigger "for a selected item" on works in the default environment?

Hi @Langer,

As far as I am aware this is still a limitation of the SharePoint Online connector.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#known-issues-and-limitations

For Flows that use the 'For a selected item' or the 'For a selected file' trigger, only those that are part of the Default environment in Power Automate are listed within the SharePoint Automate menu.

We really need the ability to point apps and flow to another environment all together vs default. Canvas apps have a workaround, "select item" flows do NOT. Please provide an update on if this is on the roadmap for Microsoft at this point. There are numerous articles online of customers complaining about this drawback, why is nothing being done all these years later? With all the updates and enhancements etc. pushed by MS, why is this one not yet addressed?
