Getting flow information in the actions of a flow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

In any flow, irrespective of the connectors or actions, are there any flow specific fields (like flow name or id) that can be passed in the actions?

 

Scenario: I am populating the same app with multiple flows. Need a way to differentiate the data coming from the different flows in the app.

 

Thank you

    Hi @sandeepnmenon,

     

    I have made a test on my side, please refer to screenshot below to get the flow name:

    The expression in the Compose as below:

    workflow()?['tags']?['flowDisplayName']

    The flow would run successfully as below:

    You could refer to link below for more information:
