Support triggering Power Automate flows from Code Apps

[ranjith7022]

I understand from issue #148 that Code Apps currently do not support triggering Power Automate flows from React code and that flow support is on the backlog.

Is there any recommended pattern or planned API to invoke flows from Code Apps (e.g., similar to how Canvas Apps can trigger flows)?

A common scenario would be triggering a flow (email notification, integration, background processing) from a UI action such as a button click.

If possible, it would be helpful to support:

Direct flow invocation from Code Apps

Or an official SDK / connector pattern

@ranjith7022 - This is something that is in active development at this moment. We expect this to be available in a few weeks.

This is awesome, is there an ETA on this?

[WA0GTO]

This feature should be prioritized.

[eschavez]

Current ETA for rollout to complete and for it to be available is mid-April (around the 17th)

great news. Please also plan to put out a sample

I hope that we can call Power Automate flows like calling an API, and the flow can return data to the Code Apps (just like the Power Pages connector in Power Automate), so that we can use FetchXML to get data from Dataverse or implement some business logic in the flow for the Code App.

While we are waiting for the official way to trigger a power automate flow from code apps, I have documented a custom connector route to trigger the power automate flow from code apps. This might be helpful for folks like me.
