Use a flow to update a row

Use the Update a row action to make changes to a row in Microsoft Dataverse.

For example, you can create a flow that updates an Account in Dataverse when you receive an email, as shown in the following image.

Update a row

After you select a table, the action card displays a list of inputs for the row ID that's related to the columns in the table to update. An asterisk (*) marks the mandatory columns. The Row ID column is the unique ID for the row that's being updated. If you provide a row ID that doesn't exist or generate one with the guid() expression, the action performs an update or insert (upsert) operation, creating a new row with the ID you provide.

If you don't see a column, select Show advanced options at the bottom of the card. The update skips columns you leave blank, unless a null value is provided explicitly.

Advanced options

Return Full Metadata

This setting controls whether to load all columns from the table or just the essential ones for better performance. If you don't set it, the flow automatically returns full metadata if it uses dynamic content or expressions that need it.
