Respond to PowerApps works sometimes not other times

Posted on by 14

I've created an app that there are options for the user to export a collection to CSV and upon the Respond to PowerApps response, present a button to open the file in a new browser tab. This works when configured with one flow. I copied this flow and added a new button control, and from everything i can see the flow is operating properly and responding to the PowerApps with the proper link. However, when I attempt this with any other related flow, PowerApps is showing nothing.

Basic method - user clicks the button control and the OnSelect performs a ClearCollect on the appropriate collection of data, sets it as a JSON variable and passes this JSON variable into the flow where it is parsed, a csv is created and a file is created in a SharePoint document library. This flow works 100%, the files are created, and from both the Power Automate side as well as PowerApps monitor/debug it would seem that the appropriate link is sent back to PowerApps, however there is nothing there.

Any ideas?

    Thanks @RezaDorrani  your method is a bit cleaner than mine and I love the reusability of it. That being said, my issue was related to getting the response from PowerApps. Seems that in this case, while within the same session, removing and re-adding the flows worked. I'm returning a link to pop the file open in a browser tab, and the working response is Text, the sharing link to the SharePoint item and in PA :

    Set(FileLink, yourflow.Run(data).filelink) is giving me the proper response!
