Manually Triggered Flow in a solution

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I've read the MS article regarding importing existing flows into solutions. Solutions in Power Apps - Power Apps | Microsoft Learn

I have a solution and a "manual 'flow (which I created within the solution). It's simple, select an item in a list and get the properties...that's it...I'm just trying to get this to work.

When I export the solution from my Dev to Production and go to the target list, select an item, the flow does not show up in the dropdown. My automated cloud flows work fine within the solution.

Is it not possible to use manual (aka Instant) flows within a solution at all. The article above suggests if the instant flow is created within the solution it will work...it's not working. Suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated as I'm trying to put all my flows into solutions at this point.

Hey @Anonymous

Currently I have my flow in many environments except for the production environment. And the flow is manually triggered and its working fine for me. Can you give more details like, what is happening with some screenshots.

Sure! I'm attaching a screen shot of the target list where, presumably, the flow should show up in the dropdown.

FYI - I am new to using solutions and environments. Also, the test flow is turned on.

The other screen shot is from the production environment. If you need more let me know. The export/import from Dev to Production was successful.

Sorry for late reply. Got caught up with something. I tried to replicate your scenario and same happened with me as well. Previously I was using Manually Trigger flow not this sharepoint selected item trigger, so that worked.

Not sure why its not showing in the sharepoint.

Just found its a known limitation in Power Automate. Read the following link:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/connectors/sharepointonline/#known-issues-and-limitations

For Flows that use the 'For a selected item' or the 'For a selected file' trigger, only those that are part of the default environment in Power Automate are listed within the SharePoint Automate menu.

Well, thanks for finding that. I've been pulling my hair out on this. This news is really unfortunate though.
