Power Automate flows can be triggered with HTTP triggers and it will be useful in many scenarios. There are HTTP actions available inside a flow that can be used to get or post data to an external system, In the Azure Form recognizer example<\/a>, we have used HTTP get request. Similarly, we have used HTTP triggers in the IQBot example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HTTP trigger flows can be used whenever a certain trigger point is not available from the existing connectors like a button click on a custom page or Suppose if we need to pass data to SharePoint from any external application we can use this method, of course, SharePoint has Rest API methods but we need to configure the security headers to access SharePoint data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will see the Post and Get methods works, Before proceeding get to know about HTTP methods<\/a> available and how it works in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POST Method<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Normally Post method is used to create\/update data in the server, In this example, we will create a CSV file in the flow passed over the HTTP request. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add the “When an HTTP request is received” trigger, create a JSON structure in which the data will be passed, and click done automatically it will create the Request Body JSON Schema and select the method as Post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we created two properties “fileName” is to pass the name of the file and “csv” is to pass the base64 format of the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
