Is it possible to trigger a power automate flow from code in Azure Functions?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

I want to add a functionality which power apps does not provide. Thus, a workaround is to trigger a power automate flow upon clicking a button in powerapps, which will then call the Azure function. However, the Azure function returns a HTML page instead of json. And I want to trigger a flow upon clicking a button in the HTML page. Ultimately, I need to create new items in a SharePoint list from some derived information in the Azure function. Is it possible to do so? If so, how?

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    That should be possible. You could for instance use the When an HTTP request is received trigger. This will generate a HTTP Post Url which you can use to trigger it from your Azure Function.

     

    Within the body of that request you can pass whatever properties you want to include. You just need to setup a schema in the trigger action to recognize those properties.

    Below is an example doc from Logic Apps (which is pretty much the same):
