Trigger CRM Workflow using Power App

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Jigar Bhatt 537

Hello All,

Currently we are using CRM 365 V9.0. We are using Dialog in our existing implementation to achieve some functionality. As per Microsoft, Dialog will be deprecated in nearer feature and we can replace those Dialog with Power App.

I have one requirement where we need to trigger CRM Workflow from Power App Button. Is there any way to achieve this functionality?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Jigar

    Hi

    There are few ways to achieve what you are trying to do but the recommended approach is to move your Workflow Logic into a FLow and then call the flow from the PowerApps button click, please see below

    Starting a Flow on Canvas Apps button click

    [View:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/using-logic-flows:750:50]

    If you are running a workflow in your Dialog,  Flow is recommended

    However, if you still want to call a workflow, one option would be to trigger the Workflow using a Flow, as explained in the link below

    https://community.dynamics.com/crm/b/alexanderdevelopment/posts/executing-dynamics-365-workflows-from-microsoft-flow

    One other option would be, On Click of the Canvas App button, you can perform a record update/create to trigger the workflow. Even if its an OnDemand workflow, you can have a Workflow running custom entity and create a record to trigger the workflow.
