Using Power Automate to collect a username in ExB?

[David_Brooks]

Is it possible to set up a flow that will listen for a post request from an experience builder button? I would like to somehow set up a button that - when a user clicks it in a web experience - will send a post request to the listener containing the username of the user that clicked the button.

I don't know if this is possible, or if im using the correct terminology, but it seems like it should be feasible, or may require a custom widget, rather than just a simple button widget with a "Set Link" property pointing to a URL.

All advice gratefully received.

Hey @David_Brooks 

There is a way to do this! Using the "When an HTTP request is received" function shown here:

If you have a flow already created, you can add it under the Request actions:

This is at the bottom of the Instant Cloud Flow creator, this will wait for a post request and perform actions based on what was provided. You can parse the data using a JSON Parse cell as well.
