Manually start a flow

Posted on by DamienFlood

Hi Community,

Is it possible to start a flow(s) manually from a list?

I would like to have multiple flows connected to a list. e.g. 1st flow would send the item for review. 2nd would send for approval, another would reject etc.

What would be the best approach for this? Mutliple flows with conditions or one flow with multiple conditions.

In SPD you can create a workflow manually and just wondering if this is available in Flows

Cheers

Hi Damien,

I think it would be better to have all these in one flow. But your description is quite ambiguous and if you want to know how to create this flow exactly you might need to decribe in detail.

You can start a flow manually using the trigger "Flow button for mobile".

Regards,

Mona

Thanks Mona,

Well basically I would like to control how the flow is triggered on a SP list. I know that this could be handled by conditions, but was also wondering if the flow can be triggered manually from the SP list (online, not on mobile) so the user can decide e.g. send for review, send for approval, etc.

Sorry if I am being a bit vague.

Cheers

Hi
Is this function to trigger specific flows from a Sharepoint list item available yet? I would really like to have the option to start a manual flow on an item when required.
Thanks, Kirsty

Hi!

I just wanted to ask if there are any news regarding the manual triggering of flows? To be specific I want to start a flow for a selected list item but cannot add the flow to my list. Or maybe I do not know how to do it...

Thank you very much!

Best,

Thomas

SAme here. It would be great to have the possiblity to trigger a flow manually and not based on any conditions (e.g. collect feedback on a specific document).
