This doesn't address the need for scheduled, server-based, emailed reports, but it might address the scheduled jobs side of things, to a degree: Introducing ArcGIS Data Pipelines (Beta) in ArcGIS Enterprise 12.0

As ZachBodenner said in Stable alternatives to Power Automate: This isn't a criticism necessarily so much as an honest question: Other software has native/built-in automated process type stuff - why doesn't ESRI? It seems like something that should be included in the AGO/Portal suite...

@ZachBodenner I’ve wondered about this too. For example, with IBM Maximo, all the automation is built right into the product. No third party apps needed. How reliable are ArcGIS Online webhooks?

This isn’t strictly about reliability, but it talks about timing, which seems relevant: Why is there such a big delay between a trigger and the action? While some flows can be instant, there are many cases in which there is a delay between a trigger and an action and vice versa. For example, when using the ArcGIS connector in conjunction with a Microsoft SharePoint connector, there is a delay (one to three minutes) when processing information. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/power-automate/latest/get-started/faqs.htm A few related posts: Power Automate triggers not working since 9th Oct Power Automate - Re-Establish Connection Power automate ArcGIS Connectors for AGOL Feature layer (hosted, view) Stable alternatives to Power Automate Survey123 Power Automate Error 'GetWebhookPayloadSchema' is too large Power Automate Trigger Issue

@abureaux Thanks. That’s very helpful. For my notes, I found this blurb in Frequently asked questions: …if an ArcGIS API key is used to create and maintain flows, there is no need to refresh the connection, as API keys do not require additional authentication once they are configured. See the Quick Tip: Keeping the ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate Refresh Token Valid Esri Community blog for a way to keep the token valid. How reliable are ArcGIS Online webhooks?

How reliable are ArcGIS Online webhooks? For example, a Survey123 webhook triggered by a feature being created, that uses Power Automate to send an email or create a feature in a different feature layer. Can I rely on the webhooks to fire 100% of the time?

@AlixVezina said this a couple of weeks ago: Copy and Paste in now available in Experience Builder in ArcGIS Online. It will also be available in Enterprise 12.1 which is targeted for May 2026. You can find it in the Edit widget, when using "Interact with a Map widget" Mode. The option is at the bottom of the Content panel, as part of the Advanced editing tools.

@AkshayHarshe Does this note from your post still apply? Note: At the time of writing this, 2026.1 update for ArcGIS PaaS connector hasn't rolled out by Microsoft. Only ArcGIS and ArcGIS Enterprise connectors are released.

I believe, in general, users can manage their own flows in Power Automate. But the wording in the Esri docs seems unclear to me: Introduction to ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate To use ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate, you must have an ArcGIS organizational account, an ArcGIS Enterprise login, or API key credentials. See the Microsoft ArcGIS Connectors topic in the Microsoft Power Automate documentation to learn about ArcGIS Connectors for Power Automate. Does the word "use" apply to me, a user, or is it referring to the initial connector setup? As a non-admin, it goes without saying that I don't have access to API key credentials.

Background: I'm a GIS power user, but I don't work in I.T. In AGOL, I can create/publish items, but that's all I can do; I can't share items or perform any other admin tasks. I want to pitch a project to I.T. — purchase Power Automate Premium licenses to facilitate the following: When a Survey123 feature is created (when the user hits submit), email a staff member. YouTube: Setup Webhooks in ArcGIS Survey123 using Microsoft Power Automate (Esri Canada) Similarly, when a Survey123 feature is created, automatically copy the feature to a feature layer called "record of original survey submission". I believe I.T. would set up an ArcGIS Online Power Automate connector. Both 1 & 2 would require webhooks in Survey123. It looks like I'd be able to set up webhooks myself using my current AGOL privileges; nothing's greyed out: Question: Once I.T. sets up the connector, would I be able to create and manage my own AGOL/Power Automate flows going forward, assuming I get a Power Automate Premium license? I want to understand how it would work and understand what I'm asking for. Would I need to ask administrators to do everything for me going forward, such as create or modify flows? Or would I be able to manage my own flows?

@Conner-Schaak Natively, Survey123 can trigger a webhook when a new feature is submitted, and a platform like Make or Power Automate can receive that webhook and then call a custom GP service or ArcGIS REST API operation to add the record to a second layer within your organization. Thanks. That’s helpful. Do you figure there isn’t a pre-built action in Power Automate for creating a feature in a different feature layer?

@DavidSolari Here’s a video showing how to send an email when a Survey123 feature is created, using a web hook and Power Automate. YouTube: Setup Webhooks in ArcGIS Survey123 using Microsoft Power Automate (Esri Canada) Like you say, I imagine something similar could be done to create a feature in a different feature layer. Related: Can non-admin users manage their own AGOL/Power Automate flows?
