When an activity is assigned

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,710

Hello,

I am building a flow whenever an activity is assigned to an owner using when a record is created, updated, or deleted (CDS current env) trigger.

I set the filter attributes to ownerid, and I selected the "Activities" as the entity.
The filter attribute base on that field because when an activity is assigned the ownerid field will be updated based on that user.

The issue that I am facing while I am assigning an owner for the activity and submit, the flow is not triggering at all, and the error message that I am getting:

{
"error": {
"code": "0x80040203",
"message": "Creating a callback registration on entity type activitypointer is disallowed"
}
}

I tried another workaround by selecting the Task entity instead of the "Activities" entity, and I tested the flow by assigning an owner for a task as an activity type, it works successfully.

But it's not a good workaround, imagine if I have 30 activity type (phone call, task, appointment, email..), so I have to create for each activity type a flow.

Is it possible to create only one flow for all the activities types?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

    Hi @Julien2 

     

    You can't create trigger for entity activity pointers. It is a set of entity collection that are activity types.  This is by design. That's the reason Power Automate shows the error in trigger after saving the solution.

    The only possibility is individual solution for each activities.

     

    Thanks
