## Challenge

I want to trigger a Flow in Microsoft Power Automate via API.

## Solution

You can do so simply by using our Microsoft Power Automate Extension.

More information regarding this extension can be found on github.

[https://github.com/Cognigy/Extensions/tree/master/extensions/microsoft-powerautomate](https://github.com/Cognigy/Extensions/tree/master/extensions/microsoft-powerautomate)

Please note that Microsoft sometimes adds URL-encoded characters into the trigger URL. You need to replace these with proper characters first.

Incorrect URL:

```
https://prod-111.westeurope.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/caf35/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=%2Ftriggers%2Fmanual%2Frun&sv=1.0&sig=78mTWa
```

Correct URL (replaced %2F with forward slash):

```
https://prod-111.westeurope.logic.azure.com:443/workflows/caf35/triggers/manual/paths/invoke?api-version=2016-06-01&sp=/triggers/manual/run&sv=1.0&sig=78mTWa
```
