Hi @Rilsina

You can use the Common Data Service (Current Environment) connector to call actions on an entity. The flow should be created as a part of a solution for this to work.

Else, you can get records, and then construct the content as required.

Hope this Helps!

Hi @yashag2255

Thanks for your response.

Its actually a workflow assembly that creates the notes collection and the perform unbound/bound action connectors allow only the Actions to be called and not the workflow assembly.

Also,
Can you suggest any connector that would help create the structured content as in the image.

Hi @Rilsina

Not sure if I understood this correctly. But in case you are looking to get the items from the notes and attachments of the entity, you can first get the record of the case and then add an action get records and select the notes entity and then pass the regarding as identifier from the previous action. This will get you all the notes on a particular record of the entity and then you can compile them together using a create an HTML table action and get the attachments separately to compile everything and send as an email.

Hope this Helps!

Hi Manish,

This would be the case if we just need to invoke a workflow without any input/output parameters.
Could you tell me if there is any way to call the workflow which contains some input as well as output parameters.
Would be great help.
Thank you.

Hi @Dynamics365User ,

Why do you need input parameters to be passed from Flow ? When you have defined the workflow based on some entity you already have those input parameters defined already .

Thanks

I need to replace a dialog. (Since dialogs are deprecated).
The dialogs takes a few user inputs and calls a custom workflow activity which processes the data and provides some output parameters.
MS says use business process flows or canvas apps.
What do you think is the best way to replace it?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Hi @Dynamics365User ,

if you are interested in replacing, you can use actions and with input and output parameters. The good thing about using action here is that it can be called from Flow using CDS current environment connector.

Thanks
