can we call flow when response is submitted in sharepoint

  • Re: can we call flow when response is submitted in sharepoint

    If I will use  "for a selected item" trigger available in SharePoint. It will also open request in admin center. I can't use this also.

    You can provide manual trigger to the user. By using "for a selected item" trigger available in SharePoint. As there is no other way around, so you can give it a try if you want to.
    You can find "Automate" option in context menu by clicking any item or file. Inside it, you will be able to trigger your manual flows.

    Thanks for the information. so the only option left in my scenario is to use do until loop in flow ?

    @Anonymous when the approver approves the request in the email that adaptive card should normally just close, I've never had it open the SharePoint item unless the approver clicks the link to item.

    It's not possible to do the approval inside Power Apps. A uservice request for this is at https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Power-Apps-Ideas/INTEGRATE-Flow-Approval-Buttons-Approve-Reject-inside-PowerApps/idi-p/332337 and there may be others.

    @Anonymous it's not necessary to use a Do until, as I mentioned in my previous post you can use the Start and wait for an approval action:

    You'll then have other actions after that to save the approval outcome etc to the SharePoint item or send the email telling the responder their submission has been approved or rejected.

    In current scenario i have used do until loop for it. But it's impacting performance of flow. because in every 30 seconds. it's checking i sharepoint list. item has changed or not.

    @Anonymous you've got some of the actions the wrong way round: when the user submits the item to the SharePoint list that will trigger the flow, it doesn't trigger after an approves it. So after the When an item is created trigger you can then have a Start and wait for an approval action that sends the approval request to the approver. I always recommend that the approval decision, who made it, the date and any comments are saved back to columns in the SharePoint list. If you wanted to you could then have a Send an email (v2) action that sends the submitter an email with the outcome of the approval.

  • Re: can we call flow when response is submitted in sharepoint

    My requirement is suppose user has submitted data in sharepoint list. It will go to approver for approval. when first approver approves it. flow will trigger itself. but that flow should not trigger when user update any item in sharepoint

     

    Flow should trigger only when first approver approve any request, it should not trigger when user update any item

    @Anonymous  So your trigger will be the SharePoint "When an item is created" trigger. Then you'll add the actions you want to happen:
