    Hi,
     
    There are two ways to update the environment variable when you deploy the solution in the new environment.
     
    1. Manual Method: When you import a solution that contains Environment Variables into a new environment, the system automatically prompts you to enter the Environment Variable values during the import process.

    While importing:
    • A popup appears asking for the Environment Variable value.
    • You can enter the correct URL (for that environment).
    • The value gets stored in the environmentvariablevalue table.
    This is the simplest and Microsoft-recommended method if manual input is acceptable.
     
    1. Automatic Method – Trigger After Solution import:  If you do not want to update the Environment Variable manually, a better automated approach is to trigger a flow after the solution is fully imported.

    Create a cloud flow with the following configuration:
    Trigger:
    • When a row is added (Dataverse trigger)
    • Table: msdyn_solutionhistory
    Trigger Condition:
    • Solution Name equals your deployed solution name
    • Status equals Completed
    This ensures:
    • The solution is fully imported
    • All components (including flows and environment variables) exist
    • The trigger runs only once per successful import
    After the trigger:
    1. Add an Action “Run a Child Flow” this will automatically trigger your child flow.
    Hope this helps.
     
    Thanks!
