To skip the "Run Flow" panel in SharePoint Online and run the flow instantly when clicking the button for a selected item, you can use the "Start a Flow" REST API directly. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Open the SharePoint Online list where you have created the button to run the flow.
  2. Edit the page and edit the button configuration.
  3. In the button configuration, set the "OnSelect" property to the following formula:

Launch("https://<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com/sites/<site>/_layouts/15/IniWrkflIP.aspx?List=<list-id>&ID=" & ThisItem.ID & "&TemplateID=<flow-template-id>&Source=https%3A%2F%2F<your-tenant>.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2F<site>%2FLists%2F<list-name>%2FAllItems.aspx")

 

Replace the following placeholders in the formula:

  • <your-tenant>: Replace this with your SharePoint Online tenant name.
  • <site>: Replace this with the name of the site where the list is located.
  • <list-id>: Replace this with the ID of the SharePoint list.
  • <flow-template-id>: Replace this with the ID of the flow template you want to run.
  • <list-name>: Replace this with the name of the SharePoint list.
  1. Save the changes and exit the page editing mode.

 

Now, when you click the button for a selected item, it will directly trigger the flow without showing the "Run Flow" panel or any additional confirmation. The flow will run instantly, improving the user experience by skipping the loading time of the "Run Flow" panel.

      jpdosher fgonzalez515 It is not possible using SharePoint JSON formatting. You cannot add Launch function using JSON formatting in SharePoint.

       

      Also, I don't think there is any way to skip opening Run Flow Panel in SharePoint while using JSON formatting.

       

      You can try below approach but it will be too much work for such simple and out of the box functionality (or you can live with the default run flow panel):

      1. Create a SPFx list view command set extension
      2. Trigger flow from SPFx extension 

      You will need coding experience for this approach.
