Trigger Power Automate directly from MS Word Desktop

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a scenario where MS Word files are located in local drive. Each file contains a Power Automate extension. The person clicks on the extension and Power Automate cloud flow is triggered which copies the MS Word file data into CRM/SharePoint. Is there a way to trigger Power Automate cloud flow directly from MS Word file through an extension or any other way?

Re: Trigger Power Automate directly from MS Word Desktop

I too am looking for something within the same lines. We have documents that require a flow trigger from within in the form of a button, in order to send a ball in court notification.

InfoPath provided a way to do this; however, InfoPath is no longer supported AND it would require us to re-do lots of documents in Power Apps, which needless to say would take way too much of an effort for something this simple.

Is there a way to accomplish this?

Any Gurus out there - surely there is some way that i can manually trigger a power workflow or app manually from within Word (and pass it a direct link to the file i'm in)
