How to create a Collection at Power Apps from a JSON generated at a Power Automate flow?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by mgisbert 71

Hi, I've read several options for this but none of them worked for me. I didn't find a way to send an array to Power Apps that works and I didn't find either a way to create a collection at power apps from a JSON text received from a power automate flow. 

I can send the JSON response as a text to power apps but I cant't find the way to create a collection from this JSON string and put the items into a gallery. And I've tried to send the items directly to power apps as an array but I couldn't find the way either. 

 

Any help on this pleas? Thanks a lot!

    Hi @mgisbert ,

     

    The point is that flow.RUN().response is just a JSON string. If you want to get a table directly ,you could use the 'Response' action to return a table form your flow to the app.

    I think this link will help you a lot:

    Otherwise, you should parse the JSON string in your app, I think this link will help you a lot:

    Yes, thanks, I finally did it with that Response step. It was so difficult to find the proper JSON schema to receive the data properly on the app anyway. 

     

    Thank you
