ADD A NEW ROW TO DATAVERSE TABLE - POWER AUTOMATE FLOW
Hey Guys! Previously, I showed you how to add a new data row into a Dataverse table using Canvas App, if you missed or wish to review it, here's a link to it 👉Pizza Table (Canvas App)👈
In this one, we learn how to add a row to the same table using an Instant Cloud Flow.
PRE-REQUISITE
- Login to Power Automate
- I will be using the Pizza Table which I created earlier, it must be available in the Dataverse. If you have not done this already, please use this link to create it 👉Pizza Table. As an alternative, you may also choose to use any other table from Dataverse.
STEP 1: Create a new Instant Cloud flow which can be triggered manually.
STEP 2: Add a new step to Add a new Row in Microsoft Dataverse.
STEP 3: Search and choose Pizzas table.
STEP 4: Click on Show Advanced Options and add the values shown in the screenshot below.
STEP 5: Save the flow and Test it!
Once the flow has run successfully, we have to check if that data is added in the table.
Navigate to Data>Tables.
Search and select "Pizza" table.
Click on Data tab and check if the data added by the flow is available in the table.
Yay!👌 The flow worked cuz the data is available in the Pizza Table.
Please leave a comment if you have any questions & I will get back.
