Hi @Ankit6 ,

Can you provide a little more info with what you are trying to do?

The flow you created has a HTTP trigger. The URL is the API endpoint and you can call that via Postman using a POST command.

Hey Mate @Ankit6

You can use the HTTP Trigger - This is a responsive trigger as it responds to an HTTP Request and thus does not trigger unless something requests it to do so. For e.g. you do no invoke using Post Man.

A good example can be found at -

Thanks all for the responses, my requirement is that I want to invoke Power Automate flow using Rest API from java program. So is there any Rest API available or do I need to use "When an HTTP request is received" trigger?

Hi @Ankit6 ,

The trigger you have is correct.

1. Copy the URL you have

2. Paste the URL into Postman, set it to POST, pass your JSON payload and then send

If you go back to your flow history, you will see it is triggered with the request payload coming through in the TriggerBody().

Now you can do the same in your Java app.

Is there any other way we can do it apart from this copying the http url, like if there are let's just say 10 flows I have created in power automate and I want to run any of the flows, Is something like that possible in power automate

@Ankit6 maybe try a single flow triggered from the HTTP Post. But, this flow is solely responsible for triggering the other flows. That way, your application can utilize a single Post, but you can control the triggering of your 10 distinct flow from that initial flow.
