Seeking Assistance Connecting Excel with Power Automate

Posted on by 5
Hello Microsoft forum,

I'm currently following a video to send individual PDFs with an email. 
Video for reference: Timestamp 9:00 minutes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku0NM9jhp-A
 
I successfully added the add-on to excel, however I cannot get past the sign-in page. I have successfully logged in multiple times, but it does not allow me to trigger the flow from excel. Because of how the flow is designed to be triggered from excel I cannot trigger the flow or even test it.  I attached a screenshot of the flow (excel online + power automate) where it should allow me to trigger it. (Sorry if it doesn't appear. It looks like they take a long time to approve images on this forum)
 
Is there a work around with the trigger being in power automate? Or does anyone have a solution to this problem?
 
The goal is for me to send individual PDFs with personalized emails. If you know of another way to accomplish this please share!
 
Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide!

    It works better to just paste in the Picture
     
    However, the trigger is within Power Automate. Under the covers Graph notices when you select a row and triggers the Flow itself.
     
    I am not sure what you mean you cannot trigger it in Excel.  You have to create the flow in the Cloud, then set it to trigger based on the Excel file you are selecting rows in, but its not based on "Excel" triggering it, as in there is no button you add etc.
     
    Can you explain more what you mean as that is confusing. I watched the video to see what trigger it is, that is simply a Cloud trigger, that activates when you select rows in the Excel file you selected in the trigger.
