Expose Feature Layer as Dynamic Content

IngridHogle

It seems like it would be helpful to be able to reference the Feature layer from the "When a record is created in a feature layer" ArcGIS Enterprise Connector as a dynamic value for use in future connectors.

My hope is that this would allow one to use the dynamic Feature Layer from the trigger connector as a parameter feeding into a geoprocessing tool. (Using a HTTP connector to call the geoprocessing tool.)

This is not urgent, as I found a workaround by making my geoprocessing script have no parameters, and just hard-coding the feature layer reference into my Python script. I just wanted to offer this idea in the interest of making Esri's Power Automate connectors more useful to the Esri community, in general.

My particular use case is that I am developing a geoprocessing tool that calculates a value for an attribute in a feature class when a new feature is created, using statistics not available in Arcade (linear discriminant analysis). This will be triggered by Power Automate, so that field staff can see the results in the field after submitting a new feature and waiting just a few minutes.

@IngridHogle Thanks for submitting this idea and letting us konw your use case. we do have a similar issue in our backlog and I will try to prioritize in our upcoming release. That said this needs to be be there in the output or fetch update changes deletions action instead. The trigger itself is for triggering the flow and will only return the changes url. The output of fetch should return the layerId. I think.
