Can ArcGIS for Power Automate be used with Enterprise yet? I heard there was supposed to be something in place at the end of 2022.
Hi @COSPNWGuy - the Connector has not been released yet. We plan to send the release to Microsoft by the end of next week and then it is usually four to six weeks for it to make it to General Availability (GA) after that. I will post an announcement here in the community when we get it deployed and accessible in Preview and GA.
@SeanKMcGinnis, can you give some insight of what versions of Enterprise, once released, the connector will work with?
It been a couple of weeks now and I'm not seeing the connector for ArcGIS Enterprise. Can you update us on where that process is, please?
It has gone through Microsoft's initial validation and has moved to their functional testing stage. I will post a message in the community when it is moved to preview and ultimately general availability.
Hi @SeanKMcGinnis !
Thank you very much for the efforts so far!
Are there any updates on the current status yet? We would like to use the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector in PowerAutomate soon. We do not use ArcGIS Online and do not have a subscription for that as we only work with Enterprise.
@User2k23 - there are so many threads where people are asking for info about this, it looks like I missed one. The ArcGIS Enterprise Connector for Power Automate is currently in Microsoft's Preview environment. We are finalizing our testing on the connector and will be promoting it to General Availability in the next week or two.
Having this work against our "on-prem" will be HUGE. We presently collaborate data to AGOL just to trigger flows, so this will speed thing sup immensely.
Thanks Sean & team!
Hi @SeanKMcGinnis ,
this is wonderful news!
We have checked, but our Power Automate region is not "United States incl. Preview", but "Germany". Can you estimate when we will be able to use the connector in Germany?
Hello, Are there any updates on the current status yet? we are sure to have a huge celebration.
Thenk you
Any update on GA?
Thanks!
Hi @SeanKMcGinnis , has there been any movement on getting this rolled out?
-Sam
Hello @SeanKMcGinnis anything happening on this front? Thanks.
Esri mentioned at the User Conference last week that this tool is in process with Microsoft and should be available in the next couple of months.
🙃
Good Day All,
I know everyone is excited to get access to this connector (and to be honest we are excited to get it out there!). It has been an unusually long process in getting the connector certified and in general availability. To give a quick status update, the most recent version of the connector is available in the Microsoft Preview environment and the Esri Engineering team is actively testing it.
We appreciate your patience and are getting closer to getting everyone access.
Thanks for the update! I can appreciate how things usually take longer than expected, just very excited to dig in!
Good Day All - I wanted to share a quick update.
The engineering team has completed testing and we have told Microsoft it is ready to be promoted to production. The Connector Deploy Team at Microsoft's message back is that component has been put into the queue for deployment which can take three weeks to be rolled out to all regions.
Here's a screenshot as a quick teaser...
Barring any unforeseen hiccups, the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector for Power Automate should be in general availability in Mid-September and GCC a couple of weeks after that.
Good Day All - sharing an update to the release status of the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector. As of the morning of September 5th, 2023, the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector has been deployed in the following regions:
More updates as I get them.
Thank you @SeanKMcGinnis, will this support Enterprise with IWA or is that still in development?
Good Day All - I am very excited to announce that the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector for Power Automate has been released!!!For more details, please check the blog article announcing the release.
Happy day! 🎉
Great news @SeanKMcGinnis ! Do you know when it's going to be GA instead of Preview?
I'd also be curious about that, I can't actually find it in my organizations Power Automate.
Hi @SeanKMcGinnis
Can you expand on this statement from the documentation that the prerequisites for using include:
"The organization must also be publicly available and not behind any firewalls...."
Our Enterprise is not behind a firewall but is on-prem only, so this is a very confusing statement.
@PatriceLabbé @ZachBodenner - Depending on your environment, it may take a bit of time to roll out completely. For example, in government-based sites, it can take up to an additional 2-3 weeks before it is deployed. However, I have tested this with a number of accounts (expect for a government-based account) and see it appear in the list.
Please let me know if you don't see it by the end of the week (assuming you are not in a government space). We may need to contact Microsoft to understand where it is in the queue.
I do work for a local government, so that would explain my case at least.
Hi @ahargreaves_FW !
What this means is that your Enterprise instance must be able to communicate with Power Automate. In short, the ArcGIS Enterprise connector will only work with Enterprise instances that can be reached without the use of a VPN or internal network connection.
Let me know if this helps clarify it a bit!
And to clarify, a bit further:
The ArcGIS Enterprise deployment must be public-facing and receive requests over the Internet. The ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate do not support connections to disconnected ArcGIS Enterprise deployments or configurations using a Microsoft on-premises data gateway.
Same...i work for state government and have yet to see the enterprise connector show up. Was wondering if IT needed to do something to "push" the connector but maybe just need to be patient.
That's helpful, thanks for the clarification!
We're in a GCC environment and seeing the same as @ZachBodenner and @Blevins_Mark
Hi @AnthonyLatini, I don't have a government-based account. I see it but in a preview state :
It's working sucessfully nevertheless.
@PatriceLabbé - Ah! That is visual bug that we are currently addressing with Microsoft.
I was able to add the enterprise connector to my power automate account. I can see a list of enterprise "Actions" however when I search for Enterprise "Triggers" nothing is available. Am I missing something or will these also be deployed as the AGOL triggers are?
Thanks,
Jason
@FCLWDAdmin - the way ArcGIS Enterprise creates webhooks is different from the way ArcGIS Online creates webhooks and the difference creates an issue when authenticating. We are workign very closely with the ArcGIS Enterprise team to get the experience the same across the two products. From our conversations, this issue should be addressed in the ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 release. In advance of that, there is a blog that was posted the other day on how you can begin leveraging the webhooks from ArcGIS Enterprise and use the Fetch action to consume the webhook payload.Hope that helps.
@PatriceLabbé - as this is a new submission to Microsoft, they control the preview tag. We have submitted the appropriate details and asked them to remove the tag as it has passed all tests and has been promoted out of the Preview region. We support the product as we would any other ArcGIS component and are working with Microsoft to get the tag removed.
It seems like the release of the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector altered the payload that the webhook delivers. Can someone please confirm? I had a Power Automate flow that I set up manually without the connector that sent a message to a Slack channel whenever a feature was created or updated for a hosted feature service in our Enterprise environment. Until last week, this flow was running fine; now it fails every time. Before last week, the payload delivered by the webhook looked like this...
"body": { "serviceType": "FeatureServer", "changesUrl": "https://gis.ufl.edu/hosting/rest/services/Hosted/Utility_Redlines_2/FeatureServer/extractChanges?serverGens=%5B6105743,6106019%5D", "name": "All Utility Redlines Updates", "id": "338faab8-12bc-447e-baff-74b02a36be57", "folderName": "Hosted", "serviceName": "Utility_Redlines_2", "events": [ { "eventType": "FeaturesUpdated", "when": 1695671276371 } ] } }
Now it looks like this...
"body": { "webhook": { "name": "All Utility Redlines Updates" } } }
Anybody having any luck finding it in the gov cloud environment yet? @ahargreaves_FW @cblevins @ZachBodenner @AnthonyLatini
not yet
FWIW, i was told it may be 6-12 months before it is available in the GCC
@Blevins_Mark by whom?
my org's IT folks...but i think they are trying to verify an actual timeline with microsoft
I just randomly checked today, but I am seeing it show up in our gov cloud tenant! However, I am only seeing actions, no triggers available. What do other folks see?
same for me
That's what I'm seeing too. I'm not sure if this is expected though? Maybe it is but there's some other way that these things need to be triggered?
It looks like only Actions are supported with the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector at this point.
"Triggers, geocoding, GeoEnrichment services, network analysis services, and certain data retrieval actions are not currently available for the ArcGIS Enterprise connector."
https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/microsoft-365/announcements/arcgis-enterprise-connector-for-power-automate/
Hm, those would be really helpful to have. I wonder if there's a plan to roll those out or if we're only getting actions.
@COSPNWGuy @ISP_graynic @ZachBodenner @Blevins_Mark - That is correct. The ArcGIS Enterprise connector should be available in the government tenant (apologies for the slow delay in getting it deployed). We are currently in a deployment process to have triggers set up in the ArcGIS Enterprise (purple) connector that mimics the same behavior as the ArcGIS Online connector (orange). Meaning, you won't need to go through steps listed in the link below in 11.2 and above.
Once those have been deployed, you can configure triggers as you would in the ArcGIS Online connector as long as your Enterprise instance is on 11.2 or higher. If you are on 11.1, then you must set up triggers and webhooks using the steps in this guide: Enabling webhooks and Fetch Updates for ArcGIS Ent... - Esri Community
As for the documentation link that @ISP_graynic posted; it is slightly outdated. All actions that are available in the ArcGIS Online connector are available in the ArcGIS Connector. We are working to update that documentation page in our next release.
Let me know if this helps!
Thanks, much appreciated info!
@COSPNWGuy & @ZachBodenner - the version of the Enterprise connector you are seeing was submitted to Microsoft in October. The version that has the triggers was submitted to Microsoft the end of January and is currently being validated. Based on estimates Microsoft has shared previously, it is usually 8-12 weeks after initial certification, so rough timeline would be April~ish.
Thanks Sean! So just to confirm, it's a combination both of Microsoft review and also Enterprise version?
Were you able to successfully create a connection? I get an error that says invalid redirect URI...
Hello Danielle! For others' visibility, we were able to determine that the redirect URI in your case is actually "https://global.consent.azure-apihub.us/redirect/arcgisenterprise" by looking at the URL in the sign-in dialog in Power Automate. Once we added this redirect URI to the application in Portal for ArcGIS, we were able to connect successfully. I have submitted documentation feedback for step 5 under "Get information for the connector" in this documentation to be updated. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention!
For those of you on government tenants, I checked today and both triggers and actions are finally there!
Has anyone else gone through the connection setup and run into the Invalid redirect_uri?
I've created the application in portal and added the redirect URIs as noted here in the documentationhttps://doc.arcgis.com/en/microsoft-365/latest/power-automate/set-up-the-arcgis-enterprise-connector.htmAnything I'm missing?
Did you accidentally use http(s):// ?
At first, but then I noticed the warning to omit it and did so. That screenshot shows after removing it.
@ZachBodenner - Thank you for reaching out on this issue and posting a screenshot. Our documentation is slightly out of date as the deployment of the connector and our documentation is slightly out of sync.
Can you add the following URLs to your Redirect URL list? Let me know if this solves it!
https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect/arcgisenterprise https://global.consent.azure-apihub.us/redirect/arcgisenterprise
That solves the issue thanks Anthony!
I do have another question though: I went through a very simple workflow trying to test this out and was getting some unexpected behavior. I set it up by choose a feature layer for the trigger A Record is Updated in a Feature Layer, and the action Send an Email Notification (Vs) (Outlook 365). I'm trying just to send it to myself with simple subject and body text. when testing the trigger by editing a feature in that feature layer, the test just keeps spinning. Is there additional config we need to do on a layer to prepare it for use in Power Automate?
Has anyone experienced this error when trying to log-in to your Portal with the Connector? I was redirected to our Portal log-in and was able to log-in, but then I got this screen and was unable to actually create the Connector in Power Automate. @AnthonyLatini @ZachBodenner
@ISP_graynic - Thank you for reaching out and posting the screenshot. I might have seen this error before and it could be one of the following issues (potentially): 1. The Enterprise portal is rejecting the sign in from an "unauthorized" application. Ensure that the following redirect URLs are added to the application:
urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect https://global.consent.azure-apim.net/redirect/arcgisenterprise https://global.consent.azure-apihub.us/redirect/arcgisenterprise
2. Is the Portal you are connecting to HTTP? Or are there any rules where HTTP is allowed? When setting up test portals, I noticed there were issues when the portal's security certificate was not valid.
What version of ArcGIS Enterprise are you running?
Thanks for the response @AnthonyLatini! I verified that those redirect URL's were added. Our Portal is HTTPS, but I'm not sure about any rules with HTTP. We are running 11.2. It connects to our Portal to log-in and even seems to accept the user credentials, but then errors out as it's loading.
i get the re-direct error but we have all the URLs added (v 11.3)...any other potential causes?
I have the same issue
@AnthonyLatini I get the same as @ISP_graynic when attempting to make the ArcGIS Enterprise connection. All 3 URI's are added to the app in Enterprise v11.1...
@ahargreaves_FW @m3 @AnthonyLatini I believe the error is because we do not have a public facing Portal. Our Portal is behind our firewall so it is unable to communicate with Power Automate. I just found on the ESRI website that is says "The organization must also be public-facing and able to receive requests over the internet." Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be a workaround for this at this point.
