Hi Power Automate Community,

I am currently working on a concept using the Geo-Fencing capability.

I would like to know if I have 10 users, would all 10 users need a separate flow / process, or can one process work for all 10 users?

Thank you in advance 🙂

Based on MS documentation below:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave1/power-automate/running-flows-geofence-generally

Geo-fencing functionality is not available yet.

This feature is targeted to release in September 2020:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform-release-plan/2020wave1/power-automate/planned-features

We will know more once we are close to the release date.

Create a new flow with a push button trigger, then before doing anything else, delete the trigger and then search for 'When I enter' you will see the preview Geofence trigger there.

It's pretty raw. Works a lot better on iPhones than Android.

There's a hidden property: triggerBody()?['transitionType'] you need to put this in the expression builder. 1 = Entering, 2 = Leaving.

On the device, make sure the Flow/Power Automate app has permission for GPS/Location always not just when you're using the app. Also make sure it's set to never be put to sleep by the device power saving.

Hi @WillPage
Thank you for your comment.
Would the one flow be able to be used by multiple users? Or is the one flow only accessed by one user? - with regards to the Geo-fencing process.

Annoyingly, there's no Run only users option like a push button flow. You can either make people co owners, or send tthem a copy to import themselves. The latter obviously has version control challenges, while the former allows any user to break it for everyone.
