Flow trigger

A Flow trigger defines the entry point of a Flow when it is executed from another Flow. The Flow trigger also defines how to convert data passed as input, to a format that can be used in the Flow.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
Output data type	Required	Defines the data type of the object that the trigger outputs. By defining a data type, you define a contract of what the Flow expects as input. The trigger will try to convert input to the Flow to the specified data type. If the input cannot be converted to the specified type and format, the execution will fail.
Output variable name	Required	The name of the variable that the output from the trigger is stored in.

Example

Using the Flow trigger is demonstrated in the nested execution topic.
