How to Trigger a Flow When a Project is Created from a Specific Template (Without Assignment Group)

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to trigger a Flow in Flow Designer when a Project is created from a specific Project Template.
We are not using Assignment Groups to distinguish which user created the project, but we do have a custom form view used by certain users.
My goal is to trigger a Flow only for projects created using that view or via a specific Project Template.

Is there a way to:

  • Detect which template was used to create a project?

  • Or capture when a specific view was used to create a project?

  • Or any reliable workaround to trigger a Flow only for projects created by certain users or via certain templates?

Any advice, workaround, or best practice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

not possible to know unless you use some hidden field on the table

Then you can use that field to trigger flow

In each of the template ensure you populate the hidden field with some unique info/text.
