Power App button linked with Power Automate - connection problem

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone,

 

i am in a middle of creating an onboarding app, where i have a buddy, who should oversee what the new onboard do, so i created a input field and a button for adding a new buddy. On the input field they write the buddy mail and when the add a buddy is pressed a Power Automate flow is triggered, where it takes all of the tasks - completed and not completed, put them in Excel file and send them to they buddy. Everything is working except that when other person than me, go to the Onboarding power app and press the button - Add a new buddy, nothing happend - basically when i go to Power automate and check the result is that the automation failed, because of the connection is still mine.

 

So the question is - how to make the button in Power apps working with Power automate connections specific for the user, who used it ?

    The excel connection is yours...

    Why don't you create an HTML table instead?
    Using the "buddy" filter, the same way you do on excel

    Hello, the issue is not only with the excel table, the flow uses - My Outlook tasks, Outlook Mail, Excel and SharePoint connections - photo of failed flow below, used by other user in Power Apps.

    Hello again, i solved the issue with this error, the problem was that the folder is named differently for each user, so i added Ask in Power App on the To-Do list name, so it will be taken from Power Apps, when the user open the app.


    But i am having now another problem, as you can see on my flow i use excel table, but if 2 people simultaneously press the button, which starts the flow, it will happen that the information will be filled in the excel from both users and i dont want this to happen.

     

    I tried with Concurrency Control and limit it at 1, but then the flow stopped working from Power apps.

     

    Could you please help me here, removing the Excel table with html table or other simple solution. i tried to send it in that way, but the table is simple and not looking good and cannot be sorted by the user, do i have other options here or can i style the table ?

    You can create your own HTML instead of using that... Like this:
