The Annotated Power Automate Flow
The full flow.. just so you can see the actions at a glance.
Action by Action Screen Shots
Note: Actions 07, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17, and 18 seemed clear enough to exclude from the list below. If you have a question about them or anything else, let me know.
Action 01: Invoke web service: POST to receive your authentication token
Submits the client ID and client secret to the authentication server and retrieves the authentication JSON with the access_token key.
Under advanced, select “HTTP authentication” and put your client ID in the user name field and client secret in the password field.
Action 02: Convert OSTokenResponse JSON to custom object
Action 03: Set Variable - the authentication token OSToken
This sets a variable, OSToken, to the authentication token. This variable will be used in the custom header for Authentication: Bearer %OSToken%
Action 04: Invoke web service - GET ordersJSON
This returns the list of orders for processing.
Action 05: Convert JSON to custom object - OrdersObject
Convert the returned orders JSON to a custom object. This allows you to loop through nested items.
Action 06: For Each OrderObject.order
This will loop through each order that was returned in Action 04.
Action 08: For Each CurrentOrder.order_lines
This will loop through each order line object in a given order.
Action 09: Set Variable DispatchLine
This creates a single dispatch line object for inclusion in a complete DispatchOrderJSON.
Action 10: Append DispatchLine (action 09) to DispatchLines
Action 13: Set Variable DispatchOrder
This creates the JSON to be submitted back to the API to clear orders.
Action 16: Invoke web service - POST DispatchOrders JSON to API
Note: per the video, switch all advanced toggles off except clear cookies.
This will post a dispatch to the API, clear the associated order, and reduce inventory.
I hope this was helpful. If so, let me know and consider sharing.
