How to run instant flow in 3rd parth app

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 2

Please comment on whether the scenario below is possible.

Assuming that you have a vacation submission app developed directly by your organization, you want to create an automation flow to send an approval email to the person in charge when the user submits a new vacation through the app.

But here, considering the automated flow, I understand that we need to create a custom connector and add it as a trigger in the flow. Is there a way to create an instant flow that sends an email to the person in charge about the new vacation request, and then call the app API to run the instant flow once a new vacation request is created in the vacation submission app? 

 

The purpose of the scenario I am asking is to integrate flow with apps used in the company without developing custom connectors. Is there any possible way to configure this scenario? if yes, please comment anything you know 🙂

 

Any comments would be appreciated!

    Hello @adelevvvvv ,

    based on your requirement I think you can build a Power Automate starting from the “When an HTTP Request is received” trigger and then add your action. For sure you can then share the WebAPI with the third party app to be triggered.

    in the trigger you can build your own body, or Parse the json passed by the third party app.

     

    for more info please refer to the following video:
