Flow automatic run when installed from appsource

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

We have an app that uses an Excel file on Onedrive as a datasource.  We have published the app to AppSource.

 

When we try installing the app into an external environment, we receive a bunch of errors due to missing datasource.

 

Consultants have proposed that we try and use flows to create the necessary files/folders in Onedrive.

 

Suppose we come up with such a flow, how would we get it to run automatically when the app is installed, to avoid users encountering any errors, or avoid having them run this flow manually?

 

Is there some other, better way to go about publishing/deploying this app?

 

Please advise.

    You can import data from Excel and use the resulting local tables in your app that you publish. I think a few of the template apps do this so you can get started without creating any connections.
