Flow ID

[MikeLockwood]

So I have read of a technique to create a button in a column of a SharePoint list that will trigger a Flow when clicked.  This requires the flow to be set for "For selected item".  I have this flow set but one of the parameters to the code is the Flow ID, this should be a GUID.  For the life of me I can not figure out where to get this value from, any ideas?

Hi @MikeLockwood,

It seems that you are trying to use column formatting to customize SharePoint. I would suggest you submit this issue on the SharePoint forum to get the most qualified response:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/Sharepoint/en-US/home?category=sharepoint

How is your flow created? If you have issues on using Microsoft Flow, please feel free post back.

Mabel,

This is a simple question on how do i get the GUID ID of a specific Flow.  I would figure that the Flow board would be the best place for this question but I will post it in the SharePoint forum as well.

Thanks,

Hello Mike,

to find the flow ID, go to flow and in the browser input bar, you will see something like this

https://emea.flow.microsoft.com/manage/environments/Default-892b3446-d5f0-489e-a68d-605c1617aead/flo...

so here : b060f2b9-65ac-46d1-bee6-6ca4f54c03f8 is probably the flow id.

Let me know if that works.

Cheers

Hi @MikeLockwood,

Thanks for updating.

To get the Flow Id, in edit mode, you could get it from the highlighted part:

Mabel,

Thank you so much.  I never even thought of looking at the URL.  I knew it would be something simple that I was overlooking.

Is it available as some parameter so that I can use it in the actions?

Late reply, but this could be useful to someone.

Use the below expressions.

EnvironmentId - workflow()['tags']['environmentName']
FlowId - workflow()['tags']['logicAppName']
FlowRunId - workflow()['run']['name']
