Trying to run a flow on a selection of records (model driven app)

Hello.

I am struggling adding a command button to my model driven app in order to run a flow on a selection of records in the main view of an entity.

The power app designer does not propose me to attach a flow on the button, only attach a script or power fx. I would not like to use javascript and an HTTP request.

I read that I should be able select my flow if the trigger is "when a row is selected", whch is the case. I checked a lot of things, like being in the right environment, being or not in a solution, etc. And I really need to run several flows on multiple records.

It would be a pity not to be able to do such a simple thing.

Thanks if you have an idea on how I can progress on that.

Regards,
Gilles.

Hi @Gilles12

When you use the "When a row is Selected" trigger, the flow would appear on the command bar under Flows button. It will not appear for a custom command bar button that you may have added.

To trigger a flow from a custom command bar button, there are two ways (read as workarounds)

1. Use JavaScript

2. Add a new field to the table that is of type choice - Yes/No. From the command bar button, you update the choice value to Yes when you want to run the flow. Create an automated flow with the When a row is added modified or deleted and configure the filter condition to run the flow when the new column value is yes. In the flow, you add all your actions and at the end add an update row action to update the column value back to False.

Hope this Helps!
