Flow doesn't trigger from a Sharepoint webpart

Posted on by 6

Hi,

 

I've create a flow trigger "For a Selected Item" which works fine with a Microsoft List (there is a button on one of the columns which triggers this). I am the owner of the list, flow, and the Sharepoint site. 

 

Upon adding the list (actually a view of the list) on a web part, I can see the button on the column to trigger the flow but nothing happens when I clicked. I've already set the list in the Owners and Run-only users but no luck. Does this just not work on Sharepoint pages?

 

Here's the json format of the column (so that there's a button):

 

{
 "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
 "elmType": "button",
 "customRowAction": {
 "action": "executeFlow",
 "actionParams": "{\"id\": \"myguid\"}"
 },
 "attributes": {
 "class": "ms-fontColor-themePrimary ms-fontColor-themeDarker--hover"
 },
 "style": {
 "border": "none",
 "background-color": "transparent",
 "cursor": "pointer",
 "display": "=if([$ApprovalStatus] == 'Approved' || [$ApprovalStatus] == 'Pending' , 'none', 'display')"
 },
 "children": [
 {
 "elmType": "span",
 "attributes": {
 "iconName": "Flow"
 },
 "style": {
 "padding-right": "6px"
 }
 },
 {
 "elmType": "span",
 "txtContent": "=if([$ApprovalStatus] == 'Rejected', 'Restart Approval', 'Start Approval')"
 }
 ]
}

This is how the button looks like (just so you'd have an idea of what I'm talking about):

Anything I might have missed?

 

Thanks,

    Here I am from end of 2023 testifying that it is still not fixed! Where do I report that?

    Found a workaround: add an "embed" web part and plug the view URL (with ASPX, not the viewId) and it works!
