Perform bound action in Power Automate and Calling Custom Action from power automate

For some business needs if you want to call a Custom Action process from power automate, you can use Perform Bound Action or Perform Unbound action of Dataverse connector. Read the below post steps to know how to call a custom action from power automate.

NOTE

You can call Entity Specific Custom Actions from Power Automate using Perform a Bound Action. Global actions can be called using Perform Unbound action.

In this post you will learn how to call entity specific custom action using Perform Bound Action step from Power Automate.

Step 1 – Configure a Custom Action

The below custom action is created for Loan entity and you can see that there are two input arguments and one output argument.

In additions to this there are two actions steps added in the Custom Action. First step creates a Case record by taking input arguments and returns output result to calling process for this case power automate, as we are going to call this custom action form power automate.

Once the custom action created, activate it.

Step 2 – Configure Power Automate to call the Custom Action

Configure power automate with your desired trigger. For this case the trigger is automated trigger to run when a loan record is created. The scenario is, “When a loan record created, a flow will run and wait for 3 days and checks if the loan is still not approved then it will call a custom action to create a case”.

The below is the Power automate to use the trigger. For demo I updated the delay as 1 minute instead of 3 days. YOu can take as per your business need.

Next you have to add a step of Dataverse connector called as Perform a Bound Action.

In the Perform bound action choose table name as Loan because the custom action created for Loan table. Select action name from the Action name dropdown. Select Dynamic Row ID as Loan record and pass message and Urgent input argument values required for custom action.

In the next step you can use the return arguments passed from custom action in power automate.

Now the flow will run and call the custom action as configured.

Hope this helps.
