How to set this up? - I use laptop solely for work so I'd like an automatic trigger for when 'work commences' without a button-push

Hi @beternal

If you have access to premium triggers, you could use the HTTP request? Create a powershell with the following:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://prod-00.uksouth.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/5f408b681f9bdfgdg5420ffdfefb71/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=QHYvHG5pUHWJ-FDZqqZVd_2Q403tzgUcgSSnacKCMHY" -Method POST

Save it (e.g. StartFlow.ps1) and then call it from a batch (file ending .bat) file as follows:
powershell StartFlow.ps1

This will allow you to place the file in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp.

When you log on, the batch file will run, call the HTTP trigger and your flow will start.

Hi @beternal

You've got another free option too. If you use the OneDrive Sync client, you could create a file via batch script to your local OneDrive folder and then upon sync, the flow will run. You could save your exact log in time to the file, so that the sync time is irrelevant. Depends on your situation.

echo {"date":"%DATE%" , "time":"%TIME%", "UN":"%username%", "Computer":"%ComputerName%"} >C:\Users\[Username]\OneDrive\StartUp\%DATE:~0,2%_%DATE:~3,2%_%DATE:~6,4%_%TIME:~0,2%%TIME:~3,2%%TIME:~3,2%.txt

Hi @beternal,

I liked the concept so much, I have done a video using both the HTTP trigger and Dos Batch. Please take a look and hit me with feedback https://youtu.be/kPbn4WMCXUU.
