Is it possible to automate the execution of a Python script using Microsoft Flow?

Question

I want to execute a snippet of python code based on some trigger using Microsoft-Flow. Is there a way to do this?

Basically I am exploring on Powerapps and Microsoft-Flow. I have data in powerapp, I can do basic operations there. But, I want to execute a python script whenever a user press button in the powerapp and display the result on powerapp again.

Answer 1

In theory you can do with Azure Functions. The steps you need are the following:

1. Create an Azure function
2. Create the API definition using Python as the language
3. Export the definition to PowerApps/Flow
4. Add the function to your app as a data source OR
5. Add the function to Flow

It is still a little bit experimental, but you should be able to make it work.

Answer 2

Not sure if you got any solution for this particular task. If yes, could you please share the process path you took? I'm trying to achieve something similar, but so far I could not find a concrete approach for triggering a python file through power bi/power apps.

Any direction is highly appreciated!
