Share a button
Power Automate provides an easy way to share your instant flows with other users of your community who have a similar need. With a simple, one-click process, your flow can be shared with other users, Microsoft Entra ID Groups, or Office 365 Groups within your tenant. When you share a button, the person or group you share with can run your button. You can also share a link to buttons that another person shared with you. You can stop sharing your buttons at any time.
There are different ways to share the button that you created in the previous unit.
One way is in the Microsoft Power Automate app, select the Instant Flows tab on the bottom menu. You should see the Late to work flow that was created previously. On the bottom right of the button, you should see an ellipsis (...) and a pop-up with two options: Invite Others or Share Button link.
The Invite others option allows you to search people or groups who are part of your company tenant. You can search by using their first or family name, select the plus sign (+) next to their name, and then select Send. You're then redirected to a screen that says, Button was shared successfully.
You also see a Manage connections option. Selecting this option shows you the connections that are used for that flow. In this example, you see Office 365 Outlook and Office 365 Users. Each connection has an Edit option next to it. Selecting Edit lets you select which connection the user should use. The connection options are ones that the maker of the button created or ones that the user created.
The Share Button link provides you with the options to share by text message, email, or other methods that the smart phone device type and service provider allow. For example, in iPhone iOS, you can use AirDrop.
After receiving the link, the user needs to use their credentials to sign in, and then start the button from the browser. After the user signs in with their credentials, the data connections are first verified and then you can select the Continue button.
The following example shows what the sharing options look like.
The button is now available for use in the new user’s Power Automate app.
