Trigger flow on Relate Rows

Posted on by taraubianca25 104
Hello,
 
Is there any possible way to trigger a flow when a row is being related?
I have a n-n relationship between 2 tables. And every time a new record is related, I want to trigger a flow.
I've tried with the trigger "When a record is added, modified or deleted" and put the intersection table, but no luck.
 
Any other workarounds? Anything helps.
 
Thank you.

    In the Child table, you've created a Flow with an On Create or Modified trigger, and it doesn't fire when the child record gets created?
     
    Or, you want to trigger a Flow against the Parent when an item is Created/Modified in the the Child?
     
    This 2nd part would happen by having the Child Flow Update the parent item, which would then trigger the Parent Flow to do something.

    No,
     
    So, to be more explicit, I have 2 Dataverse tables: Team and Category. Between them, there is a Many-to-Many relationship. This creates an intersection table.
    Using a Model-Driven app, I can relate certain Teams to certain Categories.
     
    I want, every time I make a relate (meaning a new row is added in the intersection table), to trigger a flow.
     
    Hope that makes it more clear.

    Does anyone know a solution for this. Have exact same scenario a M:M relationship between contact and community_programme. This has created an intersect table cpc_communityprogramme_contact

    I can see rows being created in this table by querying the table in Power Query but my Power Automate flow does not trigger when the records are created?
