Share a button
Power Automate provides an easy way to share your buttons with other users of your community who have a similar need. With a simple, one-click process, your flow can be shared with other users, Microsoft Entra ID Groups, or Office 365 Groups within your tenant. When you share a button, the person or group you share with can run your button. You can also share a link to buttons that another person shared with you. You can stop sharing your buttons at any time.
There are different ways to share the button that you created in the previous unit.
One way is in the Microsoft Power Automate app, select the Buttons icon in the bottom menu. You should see the Late to work button that was created previously. On the bottom right of the button, you should see an ellipsis (...) and a pop-up with two options: Invite Others or Share Button link.
The Invite others option allows you to search people or groups who are part of your company tenant. You can search by using their first or last name, select the plus sign (+) next to their name, and then select Send. You will then be redirected to a screen that says, Button was shared successfully.
You will also see a Manage connections option. Selecting this option will show you the connections that are used for that flow. In this example, you'll see Office 365 Outlook and Office 365 Users. Each connection has an Edit option next to it. Selecting Edit will let you select which connection the user should use. The connection options are ones that have been created by the maker of the button or ones that have been created by the user.
The Share Button link provides you with the options to share by text message, email, or other methods that the smart phone device type and service provider allow. For example, in iPhone iOS, you can use AirDrop.
After having received the link, the user will need to use their credentials to sign in and then start the button from the browser. After the user has signed in with their credentials, the data connections are first verified and then you can select the Continue button.
The following example shows what the sharing options look like.
The button will now be available for use in the new user’s Power Automate app.
