    Thanks Reza,

     

    I am unsure if I understood it right.

    Do you mean coping a "web link" of an APP and put it into Power automate to execute it ?

    Thanks,

     

    Jason.

    Let me give you more detail what I want to do

     

    I want create a CSV file with previous day attendance information 3:00am everyday.  My data source is share point lists.

     

    I have a attendance list and other related lists which attendance list need look up them for information. for example.

     

    Attendance

    JobSiteIDEmployeeIDIn TimeOut Time  
    119:0017:00  

     

    Empoyee

    EmployeeIDNamePositionID   
    1Jason1   

     

    Position

    PositionIDPosition    
    1Technician    

     

    JobSite

    JobSiteIDJobSite    
    1Vancouver    

     

    The expected CSV file should be like this:

     

    JobSiteEmployeePositionIn TimeOut Time 
    VancouverJasonTechnician9:0017:00 

     

     

    I can easily do this in PowerApps. But I want this job automatically execute everyday. The Power Automate can schedule a flow but I could not find a way to do the lookup within the Flow especially for position, it need to do 2 levels of lookup. Then, I am thinking if there is way to let the Flow to trigger this APP to do the job.

     

    Thanks,

     

    Jason.

    @JasonQi this can only be done using flow, let me know if you are stuck with any issue in flow. I think if you add EmployeeId in position/jobsite list it will become very easy for you.
