FLOW NOT TRIGGERING WHEN FILTERS IN POWER APPS IS BLANK OR NOT INITIALIZED

(0) ShareShare

Hi,

I am having a hard time triggering a flow when filters in my app are blank. A button is connected to a flow which triggers to export a csv file. However, upon checking with flows history, it did not trigger.

It only triggers when I select items in the filters and then unselect it which outputs this in PowerApps

But before, when a filter is blank, it outputs like this where unselected and uninitialized filters are set to null. But this was made with no datasets connected or involved.

What could be the possible cause of this?

Here's my OnSelect expression to the button:

//Export CSV and Get File URL
Set(
 csvfileURL,
 EXPORTCSV.Run(
 {
 text: Province.SelectedItems.Value,
 text_1: Acqui.SelectedItems.Value,
 text_2: ProjectTag.SelectedItems.Value,
 text_3: Entity.SelectedItems.Value,
 text_4: Type.SelectedItems.Value,
 text_5: Muni.SelectedItems.Value
 }
 ).fileurl
);

// Notify User
Notify("The copy of csv file has been sent to your email successfully. Please check your inbox.", NotificationType.Information);



Thanks,

    Hi @jonahinguito ,

     

    It seems you don't have any default values in these Combo boxes. Please try and set [] in DefaultSelectedItems properties of all those Combo box controls.

    Actually, I tried to put values on the defaultselecteditems properties. However, it just proceeds but I don't see the flow runs history. Here the snip of flow that I recently run. I can't see the latest record.

    Also, I am getting null values after removing dataverse connector. It seems Dataverse connector hates null values from trigger output of PowerApps.

    Hi @jonahinguito ,

     

    Are you using Text fields in PowerApps V2 trigger?

    Yes. They are set to accept text input

    Hi @jonahinguito ,

     

    If you need to pass tables to power automate, you need to use JSON function to include the tables in PowerApps, convert them to texts and then they can be passed.
