When Perform Unbound Action action is added, we are unable to invoke the flow from the Canvas Apps.

Hi,

 

I have a Canvas App, where I am calling a Flow which contains Perform Unbound Action.

But I was not able to include the Power Automate flow in the Canvas App if the flow had reference to Perform Unbound Action in the flow.

So I created Child Flow and called the flow which contains Perform Unbound Action.

 

This is the flow with Perform Unbound Action.

 

 

I created another flow with the PowerApps Trigger that calls the Perform Unbound Action of the Common Data Service (Current) connector.

But still I am not able to include this in the Canvas App.

Any Help is Appreciated.

    Hi @tjalui ,

    Firstly, I suggest you not use "run a child flow"  action. This action is not supported in flow any more.

    So please do not use a flow to call another flow.

    Secondly, since you could not call your original flow in powerapps, I suggest you firstly create a simple flow that could be called from powerapps.

    Then test in powerapps.

    If it works, you could edit this flow to add other actions that you want.

    Please notice that the flow that could be called in powerapps need "powerapps" trigger.

     

     

    Best regards,

    @v-yutliu-msft ,

     

    I am not Using Manually trigger a flow, I am Using "Run a Child Flow".

    Hi @tjalui ,

    Do you want to trigger another flow inside a flow?

    I'm afraid it's not supported to do this.

    "Manually trigger a flow" is a trigger, not an action.

    You could not add a trigger as an action in a flow.

    A flow could only has one trigger. (in your issue is powerapps)

    If my understanding is not not, please describe more clearly.

     

     

    Best regards,
