I cannot work with Flow REST API

[pabloglombo]

I am trying to create a new flow programmatically using the "Power Automate Web API":

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/flow/web-api

I am stuck at composing the HTTP request, particularly when getting the organization ID.

One person said that I should get the organization id using this way:

https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b7054ea4-29b7-414e-8141-73480f37c6eb/using-microsoft-...

However like I said in that explanation, it did not work OK for me.

In my case for example my user is pablo@mycompanycenter.com  and in the enviroments part, the default organization is for example "My company.something".

Before creating a flow I am trying with this basic request:

https://ORGANIZATIONID.REGION.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/workflows

So I tried using (using this example)

https://mycompanycenter.com.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/workflows

but in C# I get  "The remote name could not be resolved"

I tried with:

https://My company.something.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/workflows

or

https://My%20company.something.crm4.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/workflows

but in this case the HttpWebRequest.Create method raises an exception because of the space in the domain name.

So here I am trapped... I have access to another organization and with that other organization it works fine... if I use the same code I get the error 401 (unauthorized) that is OK because I am not using the good ID but at least the domain is found!

I know there is a way to get the organization data using this link:

https://ORGANIZATION.api.REGION.dynamics.com/XrmServices/2011/Organization.svc

and if I use my organization data, the browser cannot find the domain... but using the other organization I have access to, it works OK!

So maybe I am missing something?

Also one important thing that may matter is that if I go to admin.microsoft.com, go to Settings/Services & add-ins, and then I click on Dynamics CRM I end up with an error saying:

no instances found for this user ID

You have signed in with a user ID that cannot log into Dynamics 365. Make sure that you have an active Dynamics 365 subscription and that your Dynamics 365 user account has a defined security role.

Could it be that as the web API I am using is 

https://ORGANIZATIONID.REGION.dynamics.com/api/data/v9.1/workflows

then it really needs Dynamics 365 (although I try to use Flow) and this is the source of the problem?

Thanks

Hi @pabloglombo ,

Have you take a try with an account that have an active Dynamics 365 subscription?

I found out that I had to create the database for that environment in the Flow admin center (going to the environment)
