Dataverse: "When a row is selected" is now a legacy trigger?

[TomS2020]

Hi everyone,

I recently went into Power automate to set up a new Flow for my users. I was hoping to use the "When a row/record is selected" trigger but I can see it's now a legacy trigger.

It looks like for the time being I can still use it, but I'm concerned it will disappear down the line.

Can anyone shed any light as to why this has happened? Is there a better alternative to this trigger anyone can suggest? I'm not aware of any that do the same thing. Most of the time I use this trigger if I want to allow my users to run a Flow, in bulk against X number of records at once.

Many thanks

Thank you for this info. Would you happen to know how to install Ribbon workbench on a non dynamic 365 environment? I've been looking for a guide but they all seem to be for a dynamic 365 environment.

You don't actually have to install it if you use the XRM Toolbox version. 

Create a solution and add the table that you want to work with to the solution. Make sure to not include any table components or Metadata.

Open XRM Toolbox and connect to your environment. 

Open the ribbon workbench module and select the solution you created.

I did a quick search for XRM Toolbox and it appears that all articles are pointing to Dynamic 365. Do you have any documentation that assist with non-Dynamic users?

Just try it, all you need is Dataverse. I'm in the countryside with just my phone so can't help with any links.

Ribbon Workbench is quite an old tool that long predates Dataverse. It was made for Dynamics when that was the only MDA. That's why any info you find will be very Dynamics oriented. As I said, just try it.

"When a record is selected" modern Dataverse connector is now available!!

It shows up in the old designer.

I can see the new trigger too.... but how do we get it to show up in the "Flows" drop-down selection within the Dynamics app?

Flow:

Below... the 1, 2, 3 are from the legacy connector, not the new one I'm trying above.  I would have thought I'd see the "Voucher Test" flow in the list...???

@dynamicsmt , I tried just now and can see the flow on my MDA. I added a variable input to trigger the flow. Maybe refreshing the browser or deleting the cookies might help?

[dynamicsmt]

Thank you kindly so much for the response! 

I have an update....

I tested adding a variable input trigger, doing a hard refresh, and a cookies clear... It did not work 😞

But, I then tested making the flow outside of a solution using "My Flows" and I can now see the 2nd Test.

I don't know all the technical reasons or implications, but I can state that when I impersonate another user that the other User cannot see this flow.  Only the User I used to create it.  Is there something I need to do so it is globally available?
