Create a powerautomate from a Teams-Powerapp

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 22

I'm currently building a Powerapp within a team in Teams. 

I've noticed that if I like to launch a powerautomate from within it can't seem to access my existing flow. This problem remains even after I share this flow with the team/office group. 

 

It would seem that my only option to add a powerautomate is to create it within this app. This provides me with a limited powerautomate interface compared to the regular powerautomate. There's no debug option, I can't check my runs etc. 

This flow in itself seems to be invisible in my lists of powerautomates in the regular enviroment. (either from within powerAutomate or powerautomate applet within teams)

 

1) Is there a way to use "normal" flows within Teams-PowerApps? i.e. Flows originating not from within this app?

2) Is there a way to have the regular interface for building flows within this enviroment?

 

Thanks,

    Flows within a PA for Teams will always exist in the environment for that team, there is no option to reference flows in a different environment (just like regular power apps and flows have to be in the same environment).

     

    You can access the flows for logging etc. by switching to that environment. Note that you can only switch to PA for Teams environments from the Power Automate website (https://make.powerautomate.com/), not from the Power Apps website.

    Oh, I didn't notice I could change the environment there. 

    Thanks a lot!
