Flows - Common Data Service (current) Connector

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 83

I am wondering why sometimes I can see the CDS (current) connector within my Flows and other times I can't.  I would like to user the CDS (current) as it is recommended and has a connector I need to include within my Flow, but unsure why and when it appears within a Flow.

 

Flow A

Flow B

Anyone experience this and know how to get around the issue (besides reaching out to MS; that can take days to resolve)?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @mcutchins ,

     

    It is advised to use flows by creating solution first and then creating flows inside the solutions. This way you will always see CDS (current) connector available inside the flows which is recommended.

     

    Thanks

    it's depending on you connector settings "allowed" , "shared with other Connectors" or disallowed.

     

    Based on the configuration , when the connector is not allowed to be used with others the connector vanish, when you have already connectors in your flow

    So maybe the Flow that contains CDS (current) was based on a template from them?

    Its my understanding that the CDS (Current) connector is part of Project Oakdale and should only appear when you are creating flows inside the Teams client.  If its appearing elsewhere then its an anomaly.
