Hello everyone,
I have a requirement to create a flow that executes twice a day at 7am and 7pm. As you cannot create such a trigger in the flow designer, I am trying to call my flow from scheduled jobs that are set to execute at those times. I have never used the REST API trigger in a flow before and am running into some trouble. Below is the trigger and Code Snippet from the flow designer:
And here is my scheduled Job:
When I execute the scheduled job, the flow does not execute. It is worth noting that I commented out the inputs from the code snippet as it contained syntax errors. Also, I have no need for inputs for my flow (Although this may be a misunderstanding on my part for how the REST API trigger works). How can I get my flow to execute from the scheduled job?
Thanks in advance,
Andrew O'Connor
Just wanted to give an update since I found a solution to this issue. My solution was to have the flow trigger daily at 7pm, then create an additional scheduled job that triggers at 7am, which calls a script include that runs the flow (see below).

According to this KB Article you should create a subflow and call it. Looks like the code is startSubflow and much simpler then the code you are using. Also I would change the schedule job to run periodically repeating every 12 hours starting at 7 AM.
