Hi all,
I have a SharePoint List which feeds a Power App. One of the fields is a 'Status' field with the options of Draft, Submitted and Approved.
I'm building an approval flow to go from a submitted status to approved. Currently, Its built so there is a button in the Power App which has the on select behaviour to change the status to submitted. The flow is then triggered any time the data is modified and status = submitted.
However, I know in Power Apps It could be configured so the on select behaviour triggers the flow (and therefore using a Power App trigger rather than a SharePoint one)
Can anyone offer advice on what the best practice is? Is there a difference? Is one way better than the other? or does it not matter?
Thanks!
Hi @ST1992 ,
If users only change status from in Canvas App, both ways are fine. However, if users have the potential to modify an item in a SharePoint list, the flow won't trigger because the PowerApps function isn't activated.
So, generally speaking, using an automated cloud trigger in your flow is more common.
Best regards,
