Hi Experts,

I'm quite new to power automate so apologies in advance. I'm trying to build a flow with D365 Finance and Operations. I'm using alert as a trigger.

What I'm struggling with is whether it's possible to analyse source record that triggered the alert and use it as a condition in my flow. Let me explain in the example below:

I create alert on purchase order line (when quantity is decreased).
When alert is triggered, I want the flow to find out which purchase order line has triggered the alert so that when I create a condition in the flow, I will be able to query other data found on selected purchase line
E.g. quantity has been decremented for item A, purchase order 1234. Condition is set to check if selected line has got another field from PurchLine table set to TRUE.

When I look at the alert record created in D365FO, it doesn't show me any data that could identify source line and enable me to achieve above. Surely it must be available in the scheme?

Hi @AdrianPeterson,

I believe the body response should contain a key value 1 and 2 which you potentially could use to meet your requirements. Below is an example.

1. Use a When a Business Event occurs trigger action

2. Add a compose and use the body dynamic value from the trigger action

This is the output of the compose. I believe Key value 1 is the PO number and Key value 2 is the Item number.

{
 "BusinessEventId": "BusinessEventsAlertEvent",
 "ControlNumber": 5637238333,
 "DataAreaId": "ubsl",
 "Email": "Test@contoso.com",
 "EventId": "755F8B54-904A-44D2-A7BE-3CAAB981AECC",
 "EventTime": "/Date(1612458280000)/",
 "FieldId": 0,
 "FieldLabel": "<All fields>",
 "FieldName": "",
 "KeyValue1": "699966",
 "KeyValue2": "ABCDEF",
 "Link": "hyperlink",
 "MajorVersion": 0,
 "Message": "",
 "MessageDetails": "View Purchase order: 699966, ABCDEF",
 "MinorVersion": 0,
 "ParentTableId": 15456,
 "RuleId": "000070",
 "Subject": "Record has been created in Purchase order lines",
 "TableId": 15456,
 "TableLabel": "Purchase order lines",
 "TableName": "PurchLine",
 "TypeTrigger": "RecordInsert",
 "UserId": "Test"
}

Maybe you can use those key values to actually retrieve the PO line?
