What is new in 2025.3 update of ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate
We are pleased to announce a new set of updates in the 2025.3 release. For a quick read see What's new in ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate Documentation. This release focuses on the enhancements in the "Get Data from Feature Layer" action as well as the Query functionality in our webhooks. Building upon the significant improvements introduced in the last release, these new features address key requests from our user community.
Update: All Connectors are now live. Note: At the time of writing this article ArcGIS Online and PaaS connectors are rolled out by Microsoft and we are yet to receive these changes in ArcGIS Enterprise Connector
NEW ACTION: Perform Geometry operations
Available in all three connectors, this new action will include several operations coming from Geometry service starting with following two operations. See additional details on inputs and outputs here https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/services-reference/enterprise/geometry-service/
Areas and lengths
This operation calculates areas and perimeter lengths for each polygon specified in the input array. The result is an output array of areas and lengths which should be in the same order as the input. At this time we only offer select units in our action. If this is not sufficient for your use please contact us. See Areas and Lengths for more details
Buffer
The buffer operation is performed on a geometry service resource. The result of this operation is buffered polygons at the specified distances for the input geometry array.
NEW to ArcGIS PaaS Connector
We are committed to improving the ArcGIS PaaS connector going forward, so you can let your users use ArcGIS Operations without having have their own ArcGIS Accounts. Through API keys you can let your clients access some of these actions. See how to create API Keys here.
- Enhance ArcGIS PaaS connector to support Get data from feature layer operation
- PaaS connector can now run Perform Geometry Operation action.
New capabilities in "Get data from feature layer" action
Update available in ArcGIS, ArcGIS Enterprise and ArcGIS PaaS connector. We are excited to see all of you use these capabilities in variety of ways. Building on the previous release we now added following functionality in this action. For more details on these operation please read up on Query (Feature Service/Layer) | ArcGIS REST APIs | Esri Developer
Select Output Fields
Users can now specify exactly which fields are returned in their query results. This improvement streamlines outputs, reduces unnecessary data, and enhances overall performance by reducing amount of data returned from the feature service.
Output Summary Statistics
Users can now perform advanced operations by output summary statistics for any chosen fields within a feature layer. Furthermore, it is possible to select group-by-fields for these statistics, allowing for aggregation and the highlighting of key metrics. This enhancement simplifies the process of notifying stakeholders or updating dashboards with essential summary data, such as totals, averages, and counts, all without the need for external data processing. You will first need to select Yes to dropdown under Show statistics to run this operation. Choosing this will ignore some of the settings in other dropdowns. See the Query operation details mentioned in the URL above.
Here is an example:
Order by fields
You can now order the fields ascending or descending in your query output from this action.
Restrict triggers by Layer Queries
When a record is created/updated in feature layer triggers in ArcGIS and ArcGIS Enterprise now offer enhanced control data that is returned. When configuring webhooks in fetching updates, changes, or deletions action, you can now apply a layer query by filling Fields to compare section. As a result, only features matching the specified criteria will be returned. ensuring that notifications and responses are both timely and relevant. You can use this in addition to Esri geometry filter. For more details see Extract Changes (Feature Service) parameters.
Find address candidate (top candidate) is deprecated
Find address candidate is deprecated from ArcGIS and ArcGIS Enterprise connectors but this will still be available in ArcGIS PaaS connector. Flow currently still using this action will continue to work. This action will not appear in the list of available actions. It is recommended to use Find address candidates action and the "Top candidate match address" instead.
Other Enhancements
- Find address candidates action can now have single line address input.
- Administrators can now create webhooks on any feature services.
- Correct errors will be returned if webhook creation fails when the layer is not editable
Documentation
Actions and triggers documentation has been updated to include relevant links to the API for most of the actions. Added and cleaned up documentation.
