Test Flow

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

 

I'm trying to test my flow on existing outlook 365 data (emails already recevied),

But i don't see this option anymore in the test pane.

There is only the options of:

1. "I'll perform the trigger action"

2. "Using data from previous runs"

 

Regards,

Eran

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    Yes, if you want to test the created Flow, just click on one of these two options.

    The second option is that it needs to be selected after the current Flow has run history.

    When you select the first option, Flow will wait, waiting for events that match the trigger settings, and Flow will trigger once the condition is met.

    There may be some delay here, you could refresh it multiple times and check the running result in Flow run history.

     

    Note that you should confirm the account used by the connection configured by the trigger and do a similar test.

    For example, when you use When a new email arrives as a trigger, the connection is created using your email address, and Flow will only trigger if you receive the email.

    In addition, the parameters set in the trigger will also affect the trigger of the Flow, such as whether the Folder is set to Inbox.

     

    Please refer to these Online docs to learn more about the creation and operation of Flow.
