Flows can make use of the Dataverse actions that the Microsoft Dataverse connector provides.

There are two sorts of Dataverse actions that may be used in flows.

• Bound actions

Bound actions

Bound actions point directly to a single entity or a set of rows from a single entity.

You must include Perform a bound action in your flow to carry out a bound action.
