Powerapps - Trigger Power automate Flow from Canvas Application (With Parameters) #22

Hello, In this episode we'll be creating simple power automate flow trigger from PowerApps, with parameters, I'll be creating simple Canvas app with dropdown and combobox searching for the user and then call power automate flow which send an outlook email to the selected user.
In my recent tutorials, I'm concentrating heavily on powerapps, model-driven apps, Dataverse, and Power Platform as a whole, When I'm encountering an interesting defect I try to immediately post it on CZcams to make other people's life easier. Sometimes I'll also touch Power Automate but mostly when it supports Canvas.

Thank you sir for explaining the concept. This give the idea to export my filtered choice columns by replacing Lookup to filter, Hope it works. Thanks again.

is it still possible to do this? I tried but I got an error saying that function "run" expects 0 arguments.

Hello Laura, post me a link to screenshot of your code, and power automate flow. Do it on PowerUsers forum so anyone can respond with an answer. this should still be possible, Run function doesn't need any arguments by defaults so that probably means you need to specify them in the PA flow.

Is is possible to turn on power automate flow from power apps

[@zbigniewlukowskitutorials]

No, I don't think so there is an easy solution. You CAN run a powershell command to turn on the flow if you have the rights on the environment (if you wont you'll get 403 Forbidden), but you cannot call POwershell script directly from POwerApps, because there is no std connector. If you Really Really want it, you can create probably yourself a custom connector to solve this task, but I would say it's an overkill in 99% of situations. Just go to Make.powerautomate.com and you'll be 3 clicks away. Alternatively if you want, you can create recurring flow (or On Click), which will call Child flows.
