Managing workflows

The Workflows entity in Dynamics covers the following types or category of workflow.

  • Workflow
  • Dialog
  • Business Rule
  • Action
  • Business Process Flow
  • Modern Flow (Cloudflows)
  • Desktop Flow

As more examples become available for interactions with these flow, this document will be updated.

Note

When interacting with workflows you may need to connect to your Dynamics instance with a user account.

Cloudflows (Modern Flow)

An example template for interacting with cloudflows is below. It simply turns off a cloud flow by changing its state to 'draft'

{
  "targetenvironment": "[variables('dynamicsCredentials')]",
  "type": "drm.crmbaseentity/workflows",
  "apiVersion": "2023-01-09",
  "name": "CVS_Workflows_Turn_Off",
  "properties": {
    "workflows": [
      {
        "workflowid": "a0096b6f-198f-ec11-b400-102248425a72",
        "statecode": 0,
        "drmmetadata": {
          "name": "Drm Demo - hello world",
          "description": "turning off"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

To turn the flow back on, change the statecode property to 1 or 'activated'.

Note

Use the 'drmmetadata' property to add comments, describing what will happen when the template is deployed.
