Using PowerAutomate to generate Reports on an ad-hoc basis

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,302

Hi

 

I have a PowerAutomate flow which generates a report (the nature of this report is irrelevant ).

 

The report is generated on a particular day of the week using a Timer trigger.

 

However, some users want to run the report on an ad-hoc basis (From a PowerApp).

 

How can I achieve this without having two copies of the same report (one triggered on time and the other triggered from a PowerApp).

 

(sorting out how to licence this is a separate issue !)

 

Thanks

 

Nigel

    When the Power App triggers the flow, you can implement a process to first verify if a report already exists. If it does, retrieve the location of the existing report; otherwise, proceed to generate a new report.
