Posted on by Pradip Raj

Hello,

I have a dynamics instance and I am using flow to connect dynamics with external application.

Requirements:

Using External Application's API, I need to create Opportunity, Account/Contact records in dynamics when record status = won in external application. I have API URL and API key.

How to trigger a flow when record status = won in external application. How to design a flow for this trigger.

Currently I am triggering a flow manually. See below screenshot:

Could you please help me on this?

Thanks

Pradip

Hi @rajpradip

Do you have a direct access to the external database connector? If its SQL, Dataverse or SharePoint then you could use the Power Automate default triggers when a record is created? If you access via API then you need to access the data filter by status is won. That means the API need to support this as a filter. If not you need to retrieve all the data and check the status if its won or not.

Thanks

Hi @rajpradip

See this webhook post

Using HTTP Response trigger and Webhook to connect... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

If not you need to schedule a trigger to run daily filter by date or something.

Hi @abm,

Thank you for your response. Webhook option is good but I don't think this option available on their end.

Now I think we have only one option is o schedule a trigger to run daily filter by conditions.

Thanks
