Using environment variables for dataflow trigger and deployments

[Lucas001]

Hi all,

one thing I wanted to share which could benefit some of you.

You can use environment variables as custom entries inside the dataflow trigger.

Using envr vars is great way to deploy PA Flows to another envr. Usually the issue is that the flow is not adjusted and you will find the trigger to have the same dataflow listed as in your dev which obviously is not correct as you would want to have the dataflow from the environment you deployed to.

You can use the environment variables during your deployment and change it to the according dataflow so that everything runs smoothly in the end.

The easiest way to get your needed environment group id and the dataflow id is in my experience to just set the trigger as usual and go to "peek code". Everything needed can be taken from there.
