How to trigger an automation when a new table is created in Dataverse

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Is there an option to trigger an automation using Power automate, Logic flows or Azure functions whenever a new table is created in Dataverse?
 
I have tried with "When a new row is added, modified or deleted" trigger on Entities table but that is not getting triggered when a new record is added to it.

    Hi! There is no trigger for Dataverse Metadata in Power Automate.
     
    But you can trigger a When a row is added or modified for the table Solution Component and validate if the component type is equal 1 (means Table).
     


    When a new row of componenttype is a table it will run. Maybe it is good to validate the solutionid too to use defaultsolution, because if the table is added into a solution it will create a record on this table.
     
    If my answer helped you, please give me a thumbs up (👍). If solve your question please mark as answer ✔️. This is help the community.

    Do you mean new table or new record? Are you trying to track a user's activity?

    ThanksMichaelFP for your response. I have tried the trigger with entities, privileges and solution components table and none of them is triggering the workflow when a record is added/created in it. Do you know if there is any other way to trigger an automation when a new table is created in Dataverse. I need to perform some actions whenever a new custom table is added in Dataverse. Thanks!

    Have you looked at the Power Apps Center of Excellence? Are you trying to create a monitoring system?
