Creating a Connection Flow

When creating a flow with a Connection trigger, all the connections that you have created for an app are available for you. You can choose from any of the available connections.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have created the relevant connection prior to creating a flow with the connection. See Using Connectors for details on creating a connection.

Creating a Connection Flow

To create a flow with a connection as a trigger, follow these steps:
  1. On the page for the app, click the Create a Flow button.
  2. In the Create a Flow dialog, enter Flow Name and optionally a Description for the flow in their respective text boxes.
  3. Click the trigger card corresponding to the connection type you want to create under Select a trigger type.

    Only the connections for those connectors that have a trigger available will be listed. If a connector does not have a trigger, its connection will not be listed. For connectors that do not have a trigger, you can create a flow using the Timer or REST (Receive HTTP Message) trigger.

    If the list of available connections is too long, you can search for a specific connection by entering its name in the Search text box.

Note: If you have multiple connections for a connection type, you can change the connection and object after you have created the flow. You have the option to do so when configuring the trigger on the flow page.
