Want to Run Power automate cloud flows with Powershell scripts

Posted on by parulbh Microsoft Employee

Hi Community,

I want to run my Power Automate Instant cloud flows through Powershell scripts.

I found some cmdlets from documentation Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell Module | Microsoft Docs

I am able to list out flows which are present with my Power Automate account. I want to run them but I don't found any cmdlets for running them from Powershell.

P.S. I used Enable-AdminFlow -EnvironmentName for starting them, thinking that it would run the flow. 😞

Can anybody help??

Thanks

Hi @parulbh ,

Not sure if any of the admin cmdlets in your link will allow you to start a flow but you could refactor your flow to a HTTP trigger and use PowerShell to make a REST call to your API. Here is a guide.

Hi @eric-cheng Thanks for response.
I want to run all Cloud Instant Flows present one by one by triggering them from a powershell script. There are multiple cloud flows present . I want to trigger them once with one request.
My Scenario:
Get List of flows with help of powershell Cmdlet: Get-AdminFlow
Send a Http request from powershell containing EnvId and FlowNames .(List of Flows)
Filter out Flowname and EnvID
For each FlowName
Get a Cloud Instant Flow with this FlowName
Trigger this Cloud Instant Flow and store run results.

Hi @parulbh, also trying to do this from PowerShell or Power Automate. It's not possible as of yet (unless you have a http trigger). Just submitted the idea, you should vote! https://ideas.powerapps.com/d365community/idea/e881c689-5921-ee11-a81c-000d3a0f0379
