Hi,

I have share point list that gets updated daily. Is there a way to update powerapps connected to the list, whenever the list gets updated?

Can I use power automate to trigger the update once sp list is updated?

Thanks!

It is usually not necessary to refresh a list from PowerApps. However, if a gallery or datatable depends on a collection, then the collection will need to be re-collected using ClearCollect() every time the underlying list is modified.

Yes, to test it, put a gallery with the SharePoint list name as its items property and run the flow.

I don't think you need to update anything.

@tanveal,

Your PA flow takes care of updating your data source, being a SharePoint List. If your app directly connects to the SP list, you will not have to refresh the data source within Power Apps. The next time you access the app, it will show the newest/updated data.

In a scenario that you never close the app/screen or the update happens when people have the app open, you might want to look into automatically refreshing the data source with a timer control on that particular screen. Alternatively, you can refresh the source when opening that screen by using Refresh() in the OnVisible property. (See this guide)

I hope this helps!
