passing parameter in scheduled flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a scheduled flow. I want to use same flow three times by passing parameter like 'hour', 'day' , 'month' and inside the flow , I want to check the parameter value received and do the condition check.

While configuring scheduled flow , I am only getting option to select day time e.tc. to schedule the flow, but not getting any option to pass parameter.

 

Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi @prteotia ,

    You're correct, it is not possible to pass parameters to a cloud scheduled flow.

    The best you can do is to add an action inside your flow, immediately after the trigger, to initialize a variable (let say "myInputDateTime").  This variable will then be accessible to all the other actions as an input parameter would be.

     

    The difference is that you will have to Edit the flow and change the value of the Initialized variable, everytime you want to run it.

     

    An other option would be to store the parameters in a file (ex.: Excel or JSON) located in the cloud somewhere (Sharepoint for instance).  You can then start your flow by reading parameters from the file.

     

    Hope that helps.
