My org just get the environment stack and I don't want people to create flows in prod without a review. How can I be notified when someone create a flow in prod environment? I am the admin of that environment.

    Dear @Wendy Zhu,

    Good day, and I appreciate the clear explanation of your concern. From my research, as an Environment Admin, there are several ways to stay notified when new flows are created in your Production environment.

    One common approach is to leverage Microsoft Purview Audit Logs. Power Automate records a “Created flow” event, which you can use to build a scheduled flow that periodically checks for these events (for example, every hour or daily) and sends you a notification via Teams or email with details such as the creator, flow name, and environment.

    Another option is to create a scheduled flow using the Power Platform for Admins connector. This approach uses the “List Flows as Admin” action to retrieve the current list of flows, compares it with a previously stored list (for example, in SharePoint or Dataverse), and then sends a notification if any new flows are detected.

    Just a quick note: since this forum primarily focuses on Office 365 products and their native features, support for Power Automate scenarios can sometimes be limited. For a more detailed implementation or ready-to-use examples, you may find it helpful to search for “Detect and notify when Power Apps and Flows are created”. I also recommend posting a new thread in the Find Answers | Microsoft Power Platform Community. This dedicated community is a hub for automation experts. Beyond standard troubleshooting, the forum provides access to a vast repository of community-tested templates and deep-dive technical documentation that addresses complex issue. As you refine your workflow, participating in this forum is an excellent opportunity to develop your technical skills and learn from MVPs who solve these exact scenarios daily.

    I hope this information helps clarify the situation and provides you with workable solutions. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reply. I’ll be glad to continue supporting you. Wishing you a smooth setup and a wonderful day ahead.
