Running Power Automate with dataverse virtual tables

Question

I’m currently trying to run a flow on Microsoft Power Automate that requires a trigger when there’s a CUD operation in one of my tables from Dataverse. My aim is to trigger an event once a new occurrence happens on mshr_recruitingrequest (from Microsoft Human Resources).

Once I test the flow, the following error (details) are displayed: “Data events are not enabled for this virtual table. VirtualEntityMetadata configuration is missing.”

I’ve looked for the solution on the web, and apparently, following the recommendation of Microsoft (Enable Virtual Tables to support Dataverse events (Microsoft Dataverse) - Power Apps | Microsoft Docs) I need to make some change to the solution on make.powerapps.com. Although there’s a problem, because this is a managed solution (native from MS), and when I try to edit the Dynamics 365 HR Virtual Entities to add Virtual Entity Metadata, I immediately see the following message: “You cannot directly edit the components within a managed solution. If the managed properties for solution components are set to allow customization, you can edit them from another unmanaged solution.” (see picture below)

What would be the solution entitling me to edit the components? Or if there’s none, what are the alternatives?

Thanks,

Answer 1

This answer is quite late but maybe this can help other users. As the error states, you need a new Virtual Entity Metadata record.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/virtual-entities/enable-virtual-table-event-support

This is an object you can add via the New menu in your solution. This allows your flows to "bind" to the CRUD events of the virtual table.

Explanation

If you look at the comparison section, the HR stuff isn't native DataVerse. You could use Business rules, Processes or other stuff to create what you are looking for.
