Trigger a PowerShell Script in Flow when Receiving an Email

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hello,

I'm looking to create a Flow that will run a PS script (On prem or in Azure) when an email is received. The email would come from a certain user and would contain a phrase in the subject. If this is not possible what about using a Button to trigger a PS script? In that case I would like to share that button with a user. Thanks in Advace!

Re: Trigger a PowerShell Script in Flow when Receiving an Email

First, there is no way to expose a button in Flow since it runs in the background. There is also no way to invoke PowerShell in an on-premises environment from Flow. Flow runs on the server in the cloud and you need to invoke the script on a computer in the on-premises environment. I have read that you can create an Azure Function that can invoke PowerShell. You could then invoke that function from Flow. Here's an article on how to create an Azure function to invoke PowerShell.

Old thread but keeps coming up in searches. The above is no longer the only way. You can use the onprem data gateway to get data onsite. from there evaluate options. fifo db, drop files and a watcher, something like that.
