Invoke web service to update user info in Active Directory

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Gtbb 2

Hello,

 

I am trying to update user info in our Active Directory bases on a Web Service from our HR software.

So far I managed to connect to our HR software and extract the user info that i need.

 

I am now stuck on how to use the data from the Web Service inside a flow so I can automatically update user info every 30 min.

 

So far I did the following:

1) Invoked a Web Service

2) Converted the Json to a custom object so i don't have 1 long text string.

 

Does anyone have a clue on how to get this to work? I am using Power Automate Desktop for this because our AD is synced to our Azure AD.

    Hope you are aware that the PAD has the Active Directory actions for Modify/Update User Info

     

    Haven't used the action itself but this link should help you.

    Hi VJR,

     

    I am aware of this. I just don't know how to use the action. I have studied the above links but now of them tells the exact steps I have to take.

     

    What I want do do is the following

     

    1) Extract user info from our HR application through a Web Service

    2) Use PAD to update user informatie based on the extracted info
