Triggering Desktop flow with WorkQueues

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Kresimir_RPA 286

I have a process with dispatcher and worker, and Dispatcher is filling the queue items in dedicated WorkQueue1. I need to create cloud flow where creation of queue item starts another new Desktop flow. But it only needs to be triggered when queue items are created in that one specific WorkQueue1 that is created for that process only.

Is there any way that I could do that through Dataverse cloud trigger action 'When a row is added, modified or deleted' ? I don't see that option there, I can only choose 'Table name' Work queue items, but can't target in which WorkQueue to trigger from.

 

Kind regards,

Krešimir

    Hi @Kresimir_RPA 

     

    To run the desktop flow when the work queue item is added, use the same trigger you have used , but to ensure that it only runs when item is added to that particular work queue, then you should use this trigger condition as shown below

     

    Nived_Nambiar_0-1690513056854.png

     

    expression:  @equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/_workqueueid_value'],'9aea5c32-4e0c-ee11-8f6e-6045bd57a9b5')

     

    Here 9aea5c32-4e0c-ee11-8f6e-6045bd57a9b5 is work queue id of a queue created by me. So this flow only trigger when work queue item created would be of this work queue only

    For your case, change the above work queue id to yours work queue ID. 

     

    Hope this helps !

    Mark it as solution if it resolves your query !

    ... Just a small addition, you could also make sure that the cloudflow is only run when being in state "queued", by using this trigger condition: "@ and(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/_workqueueid_value'], 'b517b58e-6cc4-ee11-9079-000d3a228a6a'), equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/statecode'], 0))" without quotation marks and with your queue id - of course. The editor keeps interpreting "@ and" as a link, so write it without the space between @ & and.  This will make sure it isn't triggered when a queue item is in all the other states it can be in.

    Best regards
