You can start a Microsoft Power Automate flow using triggers. For example, when you create a record in a feature layer (trigger), data is retrieved from that feature layer (action).
Note:
Only the ArcGIS Online (ArcGIS) connector can be used as an ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate trigger; the ArcGIS PaaS connector is not supported as a trigger.
For more information about triggers, see the Microsoft documentation.
When creating flows using triggers, you must have Creator permissions in your ArcGIS organization. If you do not have the appropriate permissions, you can't save or run the flow.
Webhooks
To use triggers, the Enable editing and Keep track of changes to the data check boxes must be checked on the feature layer. If webhooks are not enabled on the feature layer, the trigger does not run.
To adjust feature layer settings, see Manage hosted feature layers in the ArcGIS Online help.
Feature layer triggers
Triggers can be based on updates to a feature layer.
| When a record is created in a feature layer | When a record is deleted from a feature layer | When a record is updated in a feature layer |
|---|---|---|
This trigger is initiated when you create a record in a feature layer. | This trigger is initiated when you delete a record from a feature layer. | This trigger is initiated when you update a record in a feature layer. |
Attachment triggers
Triggers can be based on modifications to an attachment in a feature layer.
| When an attachment is created | When an attachment is deleted | When an attachment is updated |
|---|---|---|
This trigger is initiated when you create an attachment. | This trigger is initiated when you delete an attachment. | This trigger is initiated when you update an attachment. |
Tip:
You can use the Fetch updates, changes, or deletions from feature layer action in conjunction with a feature layer trigger to retrieve changes made to a feature layer.
