Add ID to manual trigger flow run

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

Hi, I have a manual trigger flow where there is no ID field for each flow run.
Please advice how to add auto increment ID to each run in order to include it in the excel action: 'Add a row into a table' along with other fields from the flow run.

    Hi @Sherif-Abolsaud 

     

    For a manually triggered flow, you can use the expression to get the request ID and use that: @{triggerOutputs()?['headers']?['x-ms-client-request-id']}

     

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi @Sherif-Abolsaud ,

     

    Maybe you could try the following configuration.

    Use Order by to get the record with the Max ID, add 1 to this value, and insert it into a new row.

    Thanks.

    I found a simple solution that to add share point step'Create item' in a list which has ID column.

    It is working fine, but any problem may happen in future? after many records getting recorded around 60 item per day?

    Hi @Sherif-Abolsaud ,

     

    It is also a good method, I think there will be no problem. Now the license does not limit the number of Flow run.

     

    Best Regards,
