Hello,
I'm trying to connect power automate to power apps, but I can't pass the value of Combobox to power automate. The error I get can be seen in the attachements. I've tried SelectedItems and Selected.Value functions, but none of them work. Finally I tried text function to kinda convert combobox values into text but it doesn't work as well. Any help will be appreciated.

Its searching for emails from sharepoint. It's multi select and yes it's definitely a combobox.

Re: Combobox to power automate not working

so something is going wrong with the concat function, you need to get it to work in the label and then copy the code to the PowerAutomate function. is it searching office 365 users? is it single or multi select? what is the items property of the combo box? is it definitely a combo box?

you may want to delete the last post if that is an active email.

ok, put a label into PowerApps and copy your concat code to the label text and see if your selected emails are coming through as expected. if not this is where the problem lies

if you go back a step in flow and look at a flow that has run, you should be able to click on the control and view the text string that was sent from PowerApps to PowerAutomate. what we want to check is that the string is coming across correctly.

Re: Combobox to power automate not working

what does it look like in the PowerApps connector / the trigger? you don't need to use the initialise variable / set variable function as it should already be a string coming from PowerApps, therefore you don't need to create the string again,

the emails should come through looking like "email1@email;email2@email; etc"

No, I need this to deduct the remaining hours from Sharepoint. So when I schedule the meeting I will get the info of duration and remove hours depending on user. That's why I use initialize variable for meeting scheduling.
