What the hell do I do instead of "Ask in power apps"

Hello, I am currently trying to export my power app data to Excel in CSV format, pretty much like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQCBWMR7T64

Pretty much every video that I've seen has this flow with a "compose" that uses the "Ask in powerapps". However from what I've seen this is no longer possible. So I am essentially stuck at step one without any idea on what to do. I am still new with flow, so the solution isn't obvious to me.

So in short, what do I do, now that I can't chose "Ask in powerapps".

@Zap607 If you are exporting data from PowerApps, you will need to use a PowerApps trigger for your flow. You can find it under the Instant Cloud flow options.
Hope this helps!

Re: What the hell do I do instead of "Ask in power apps"

I've already done this, the problem is that "ask in powerapp" is no longer an option as a dynamic value, and every tutorial I've seen uses "ask in powerapp", this seems like a recent change so there is no up to date video explaining what to do instead.

@Zap607 You need to expand the trigger and select Add an input.
Select the type of input from the options listed.
Personally, I like to use Compose actions to output the results.
Add as many inputs as you need to the trigger.

Hope this helps!
