Geo-Fencing Control Queries

Posted on by 383

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 🙂

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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. 

     

    Regards
