Hi Phalguna,

In order to trigger the flows you need to make sure the triggering condition should meet. For example a flow is getting triggered upon creation or updation of a record, then you need to perform that action with your API and that will trigger the flow automatically.

If you are making your API call using Business rule then it is more easy the moment you create or update a record your BR will run and that will make the flow to start.

Please mark this correct and helpful if it resolves the query as per the impact.

Thanks,

Hi Phalguna,

If you open up your Flow, on the right top you will see three dots. Click on the dots and hit "Code Snippet". You can leverage that script to trigger flow using REST API. Make sure to pass right inputs. Please see screenshots below for your reference.

Please mark this accepted/helpful, if applicable.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

Is it possible to execute/trigger IntegrationHub AD Password Reset action from an external application using an API? If it is possible, kindly provide inputs on how to achieve it.
