Hello all,

I have a small question, is there a possibility to trigger a small and simple process flow per record switch? When I switch record, I need it to do a request to retrieve some data to use in a custom component. To further simplify said custom component, and to further simplify our code, I would like to ask if it is possible to trigger this per record, so only the necessary data is retrieved.

I don’t think this is possible without some unorthodox workaround, since there is no starting action based on a row change. 
Perhaps you could do something with the default. I don’t know the source of the information. But if the information is not changed regularly you could set up a system flow to set up a table with the information you want to retrieve for all rows that runs every x minutes depending on how long it takes to execute and accurate the data needs to be. And then retrieve the information in the default, but this is depending on how frequent the data is changed. 

If you have some more information on what you are trying to achieve then perhaps I or someone else on the community can help.
