Retrieve runtime context (user name) for scheduled flow

Report

Posted on by Stan_W_Gifford

I have a flow that executes each day at 15:00 - It produces a simple report and emails it to three people.

Each of the three people has had the flow shared to them and they have the ability to go to flow.microsoft.com, select the flow via 'shared with me' and run the flow.

What I would like to do is detect if my run is a scheduled run in which case I will send the report to all three people or if it is a manually initiated run, just send the report to the person manually running the report.

Any thoughts?

Stan

Hi Stan_W_Gifford,

Add a Condition action to check whether the trigger was the recurrence or a manual one. You can use an expression like this: if(triggerOutputs()?['name'] == 'Recurrence')

pls try and let me know if you need more details. Thanks

Unfortuanly been there. There are no reported trigger outputs.

triggerOutputs()?['name'] (compose) returnes null;

triggerOutputs on its own also returns null

workflow() returns

}

which does have a value called name - which is a GUID - however a scheduled execution as well as a manually execution both return the same value (GUID) for name...........

FWIW - I have worked out that if the current time is not the scheduled time (assuming only one run a day) I can determine if this is a scheduled run or a user initiated run

Still does not give me the user name :-(
