When performing a one-to-one spatial join, but the underlying data is one-to-many, such as one point to many polygons: What are our options for handling the multiple polygons in the 1:1 join?

‎03-25-2026

It's a shame the Spatial Join docs were never updated.

@ValeriaChavez I submitted the following video idea at https://arcg.is/19vOGq1: How to control what related feature is retrieved in a one-to-one spatial join. Hint: if multiple related features are found, Pro grabs the feature with the smallest OBJECTID. That is a very useful technique, but is not well known or well documented. The same might apply to non-spatial 1:1 joins too. Related posts: Spatial Join — "One-to-one (tiebreaker field)" join operation I submitted this documentation feedback for the Spatial Join tool. "When the Join Operation parameter is set to "Join one to one", yet the spatial relationship of the underlying data is one-to-many (i.e. one point intersects multiple overlapping polygons), then the tool will use the related polygon on the many side that has the lowest ObjectID. Please explain that behaviour in the docs so that other people know, and so they can use it to their advantage." https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/analysis/spatial-join.htm It's a shame the Spatial Join docs were never updated.

Depending on the question, if you don't get any solutions to your problem, then you could post it as an idea. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/idb-p/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas

A different contact said this: I'm guessing (keyword) that the webhook is relatively reliable. I'd be more concerned about setting something up that depended on a connection to the outside world without some kind of client side cache in place (e.g. what happens if an event occurs that would trigger a AGO webhook, there isn't any network connection to fire off that event through? Personally, when building mobile (or any disconnected sort of system), I always like to write new data to a local location and have a background thread that runs which polls the data location and sends any required updates to the server system when a connection is available. The background thread's only job is to constantly try to get data from the local storage to the server and no data is removed from the local storage until the successful transfer to the server is acknowledged. That may be overkill, but I don't like losing data.

@Sarah_Hanson Regarding ArcGIS Data Pipelines in ArcGIS Online and Power Automate: Can an AGOL pipeline call a power automate flow (to send an email)? Or is only the reverse possible: use a power automate flow to run an AGOL pipeline?

‎03-20-2026

Thanks. In summary, no, a Survey123 webhook doesn't need to be set up in both the web form and the field app. It only needs to be set up in the web form.

Thanks. I submitted an ArcGIS for Power Automate idea, as you suggested: Integrate ArcGIS Data Pipelines in ArcGIS Enterprise with Microsoft Power Automate

As @Sarah_Hanson mentioned in a Pipelines question: Can an Enterprise Data Pipeline call a Power Automate flow (to send an email)? Support for integrating ArcGIS Data Pipelines in ArcGIS Enterprise with Microsoft Power Automate is not possible today. This is only supported for ArcGIS Data Pipelines in ArcGIS Online currently. Could enterprise pipeline functionality be added to the ArcGIS Enterprise Connector for Power Automate? To do the following: Call a Power Automate flow from an Enterprise Data Pipeline to send an email. Details: A daily pipeline job to query if there are any construction projects in a EGDB FC where the PROJECT_STATUS=FUTURE and the DATE <= sysdate. If any records are found, then call a Power Automate flow to send a user an email. In other words, Scheduled emailed reports in ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Enterprise (centralized; server-based, no-code). Explanation: The construction project was entered correctly at the time the data was initially entered, but now it's out of date. This situation could not be avoided using editing constraints like an attribute rule, since the information was correct at the time it was entered. The only thing that has changed is: time has passed. We need to be notified by email about this issue so we can edit/update the data.

It would be great if we could call a Power Automate flow from an ArcGIS Data Pipeline in ArcGIS Enterprise. For example, a daily pipeline job to query if there are any construction projects in an EGDB FC where the PROJECT_STATUS=FUTURE and the DATE <= sysdate. If any records are found, then call a Power Automate flow to send a user an email. In other words, Scheduled emailed reports in ArcGIS Pro/ArcGIS Enterprise (centralized; server-based, no-code). Use case explanation: The construction project was entered correctly at the time the data was initially entered, but now it's out of date. This situation could not be avoided using editing constraints like an attribute rule, since the information was correct at the time it was entered. The only thing that has changed is: time has passed. We need to be notified by email about this issue so we can edit/update the data.

@Sarah_Hanson Thanks for the FAQ. Very helpful, especially the product comparison section. For anyone who's interested, there's a similar product comparison page here: ArcGIS Architecture Center > ArcGIS Data Pipelines and ETLs https://architecture.arcgis.com/en/framework/architecture-pillars/integration/methods/data-pipelines-and-etls.html As a follow-up: Do you have any insight into this question? Can an Enterprise Data Pipeline call a Power Automate flow (to send an email)?

@Sarah_Hanson Is there any way to host the output data on ArcGIS Server rather than hosting on ArcGIS Online? No, this is not possible. The only supported output option today is a hosted feature layer (or a hosted table if there is no geometry) in ArcGIS Online. Just checking, is that statement still accurate? The post is roughly two years old, so I'm wondering if anything has changed. What if the Enterprise feature layer is served up to AGOL using a distributed collaboration? This one might be out of date too: Can you get notifications if a scheduled task fails? No, but this is functionality we are considering for a future release.
