Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello there:

I am trying to use Power Automate to set up some flows coming out of Formsite's API. I've successfully set up custom connectors by form for results, but I need to GET only the form data that has been run since the last call. Formsite has fields called "after_id" and "after_date" that can be used for this purpose, but their documentation is pretty minimal.

The most likely seeming solution so far seemed to be using a polling trigger. This MS article was a good start for me, but it seems like it's doing something more complicated than what I need: Use a polling trigger for Microsoft Power Automate | Microsoft Learn

Seems like I have to get one of those two fields mentioned above to act as a variable and pass the date or id field from the previous call to it. I've got "?$filter last_date gt 0" as parameter on the URL, and I can see in the JSON where the needed fields to reference are (in the header), but I can't just use what would make sense to me, which would be:

Select the query parameter to monitor state changes: $filter

Specify the value to pass to selected query parameter: "last_date" gt "date"

Select a collection that contains trigger data: header

Realize I'm probably thinking about this naively, so I appreciate any pointers.

Thanks a bunch,

Dave
