There are several ways to formulate a Dynamics 365 record URL and make it clickable in a Flow in Power Automate.

Here’s one of the ways I follow for most scenarios – Let’s say I want to open a PSA Time Entry record from my Flow, here’s how I do it

Get record action to retrieve URL

Since this post is focused on CDS connector, I can get the D365 record link in body of Get record action for Common Data Service connector.

Unfortunately, I didn’t see this if the trigger was a CDS action, so I made a separate Get record call.

But, we’ll retrieve the same without having to select/parse body object. So let’s see –

Generating Link

First, I’ve initialized a variable that’ll hold the String format of the end URL

Now, first – I’ve appended https://. This won’t come directly using the uriHost() method

Then, the uriHost() holds the formula ‘uriHost(body(‘Get_record’)?[‘@odata.id’])‘

Meaning, get the uriHost name i.e. Environment name itself.

Then, I’ve appended options for the window to open which are mentioned below in this post.

Finally, I’ve appended the Primary Key of the record itself at the end

Options

Now, let’s talk about the options –

1. cmdBar = [true | false]
   It’ll show the ribbon on the record. If false is chosen, it’ll be hidden
   
   
2. navBar = [off | on]
   It’ll show the Navigation Bar on top if on. If off, it’ll be hidden
   
   
3. newWindow=[true | false]
   This didn’t affect in my case. It anyway opened in a new tab. This could be different is the link is not opened from Email but is used elsewhere
   
   
4. pagetype=entityrecord
   Since we are targeting a Dynamics 365 entity record, the above is used.
   
   
5. etn= [name of the entity]
   Name of the entity
   
   
6. id
   GUID of the record itself.
   

Here’s an Email that I composed to show how the URL will end up looking –

Which will result in Email like this

And open the record like this.

As per my settings in the URL I created, I don’t have the Nav Bar or Command Bar visible. It’s up to you to decide your preference
