That's a kind of odd one, I can't imagine a scenario where your already 'triggered' powerautomate have to trigger a button. Could you please give a bit more details on what is your use case here? may be able to help you in finding an alternate solution..

Thank you

So, If I understand you correctly, you have sent an email to approve/reject (I presume you are using a powerautomate approval process for this), and you want certain actions to perform after approval, these actions are in power app (under a button click) rather than in power automate it self. In that case, you have to bring those actions/functionality back to your power automate. No other option.

If it is some thing like you have to replicate the same functionality (approval process) in a canvas app as well, then also either you have to replicate the logic in both powerautomate & power app or remove the logic totally from the power app, build a separate child flow and use that in both the places.

If I understand you wrongly, sorry - please provide more details, may be pictures (if it is possible) would help to understand more.

Thank you

yes. your understand is correct. So I cannot trigger PowerApps button. I should replace that full functionality in power automate. If I am wrong correct me. Thankyou

Unfortunately, Yes - That's the only way forward for you, in fact that's the correct way.

Please mark the answer and close the thread for the benefit of others as well.

You can try, but I don't waste my time in trying to achieve something that I'm sure is not only almost not possible but also not the "right way" of doing :).

If you watch those videos you mentioned, all of them should have been triggered via power app. But in your case the flow is not actually triggered via powerapp, its an approval flow which is no way directly linked to your powerapp.

I'm sorry, can't be of any helpful to you further on this..

Thank you
