Hi,

I have implemented a flow which is triggered when a CDS record is added (with the current environment option).

I have 2 different environments (Sandbox and Prod) where the solution containing the flow is deployed.

Once triggered the flow calls an azure function using the HTTP action.

I would like to pass as a parameter the CDS runtime environment to my azure function

How can I do that ?

Thanks

Have you looked into the trigger header to see if you can find something useful there? Just thinking out loud.

You can see that by which environment is selected in make.powerapps.com. To see the run history from another environment, select the desired environnment. Cheers

Hi @EricRegnier ,

Thanks for your answer.
I may have not been very clear in my question.
I want to pass as a parameter to the azure function called in the flow the CDS environment from where it has been triggered.
Is it possible ?

Thanks for clarifying. Unfortunately there is no way to get that environment from the body nor the headers.
If you have a custom configuration entity, you can use that and have a config record in each environment with the value of the current environment or the desired Azure Function URL. If you don't have a configuration type of entity then you can use the out-of-the-box environment variables.
Then once you have your configuration set up in each environment, in your flow, before calling the Azure function, get the configuration record and then call you function accordingly.
If you end up using environment variables: here's a tip on how to get the value in Power Automate: https://crmtipoftheday.com/1363/get-environment-variables-in-power-automate-and-power-apps/
Hope this helps!
