Create Autonumber in Flow

[Linsfortj]

I have a power automate flow which is feeding a record into a CRM entity.

I want to have an incremental autonumber field that adds one each time a record is fed into the CRM entity.

Any ideas how to do this?

Thanks.

you can create an autonumber column, it will be automatically set every time a record is created

Thanks for the reply but this seems to be if I'm using a power app which I'm not.

I may not have explained what I'm doing fully.

What I am doing is I have a MS Forms front end and the user fills this form in. The form then feeds into a MS Power Automate cloud flow. The cloud flow then feeds into a CRM entity and creates the new record in CRM.

I'm looking to create an autonumber which increments by 1 that goes into a Number field in CRM.

Any ideas how to achieve this in this scenario?

Thanks.

Can you explain why the autonumber functionality (built-in inside power apps connected to a Dataverse like your "CRM entity") doesn't work for you?

I'm relatively new to this. where can I see and try the autonumber functionality (built-in inside power apps connected to a Dataverse like your "CRM entity") that you speak of?

[GuidoPreite]

the documentation link I shared before explain it, in particular the section "Create an autonumber column"

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/autonumber-fields#create-an-autonum...

When I go into tables there is no table associated with my Flow it seems, even when I click on more no table for my Flow appears.

Hi,

could you please refer below article.

I am using Power Automate and this article is for Power Apps and not Power Automate. I am using Power Automate cloud flow to write to a CRM entity.

Go to the entity you are using in the crm create an autonumber field as mentioned in this article Autonumber

So next time when a new record is created from power automate an autonumber will be genrated.

Hope this helps
