Running a Flow - Showing user a "Flow was successful" message. How to achieve this?

Posted on by sits-ww

Hi everyone,

We have multiple flows in Dynamics 365. Some of them are manually triggered. When an user runs on of these flows, he/she starts it but do not get any information if everything was succesful. There is only a confirmation that the flow was started but not that is has finished. See screenshot:

I know that I can add an email notification to the flow but I need a way to show the user a pop up window or something similar.

Is there any way to achieve this? I looked into Triggers and Actions and could not find any possibility to do this.

Something like this would be enough:

Thank you for any help!

Hi,

Flows run asynchronously. There is no way to automatically detect the execution end of a flow.

Javascript can be implemented to periodically check if the execution is finished thanks to a tag for example, but this requires a lot of development effort.

According to the Wave 1 2021 update, we will have the notification feature on model driven app. So I recommend to wait for this feature. I guess we will be able to create an action on flow that will allow us to push the notification to a user.

Notification feature will be available on June 2021
