Search in Power Automate to find Action using Entity name

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 156

Hi,

I have a couple of dozen Flows in action for a customer. I created a flow some months back (along with the rest :-)) where I list records from a specific entity xyz. I don't remember which flow that was. Is there a way I can search for that entity xyz and find the name of that respective flow?

 

Thanks

    Thanks @mcin9781 ,

    Unfortunately that won't work as more-or-less all the several dozen flows use all the same connections.

    I am not aware of a way to search Flows by entity OOB.  If you know the connection that is used in the Flow, you can filter the Flows based on the connection that are used in the Flows.  You can do this by going to: Data --> Connections --> Selecting the CDS Connection used in the Flow --> Flows using this Connection

    Hey there.  So, the search in the top right appears to really only let you search via the name.

    If you have admin access, you might be able to build something that does what you want, but you may want to also check out John Liu's Power Studio - https://flowstudio.app/

     

    It gives the maker the ability to sort, search, and tag flows, all from a single console.

     

    Good luck, and keep us posted.
