🌎 Power Pages

😎 Power Automate
Identify the Event That Triggered the Flow using the SdkMessage in Dataverse / Power Automate
by Nishant Rana
When working with Power Automate (Cloud Flows) for Dataverse, a common scenario is handling multiple triggers efficiently. By default, we often create separate flows for different events, such as Create, Update, or Delete. However, using the SdkMessage field, we can identify the event that triggered the flow and handle different scenarios within a single flow. This approach reduces redundancy and simplifies flow management.
Auto-Populating Power Automate Callback URLs for HTTP Flows in Dataverse
by Inogic
In this blog, we will demonstrate how to automatically populate the Callback URL field with the URL of a specific HTTP-Triggered flow whenever a new Setting record is created in Dataverse. Manually accessing the Power Automate portal, finding the flow, and copying the callback URL each time is time-consuming and prone to errors. To solve this, we developed a method to programmatically fetch and store the callback URL using the Power Automate Management connector within a Power Automate flow.
