Trigger flow from button in an email

Hi

I have a Power Automate Cloud flow that sends an email to a user when a change occurs on a SharePoint list where the user receiving the email is created (with Read permissions).
In the email, I would like to have a button that the recipient can click on.
When the button is clicked, a flow should start that sets a value in the SharePoint list, on the item that has been changed, or the button should write directly to the item in the SharePoint list.
I cannot use the trigger 'When an HTTP request is received', as it is a Premium license.
What options do I have?
If need I can use a Parent/Child flow to bypass the Read permission.
Can it be done with adaptive cards?

Regards
René

Hey @Rene_Newbee

Could you perhaps use an approval flow? In your flow, use the 'start and wait for approval' action, send it to your user and customise the message and buttons, if the user clicks 'Yes' (for example), use a branch logic in your flow with the SharePoint 'update item' action.

Its not ideal but it doesn't use any premium licences :)

Thanks,

Adam

Hi @Rene_Newbee, you can explore this option :

Email with options action from outlook 365.

It is very much similar to approval action.

You can explore that.

Hi @Rene_Newbee,
You can try this: (Send email with options action). (this action waits until the response is selected (not sure about timeout))

Can not use an approval flow, it needs to run for more than 28 days.
