Use the CDS trigger to set the scope of your flow

Chances are if you are reading this, you know that new and upgraded instances of Dynamics 365 are now synonymous with the Common Data Service. And because of this the D365 and CDS Flow triggers can work on the same data.

There may be an circumstance where you want to create a Flow that only runs when YOU update or create a record. With the D365 connector – this is not possible. The trigger will run on any record that is created/updated.

BUT if you use the CDS trigger, you get more options! You can set the scope of the trigger to “user” – and if you select that option it will only run for records that YOU trigger.

A pretty handy trick to keep in your back pocket.
