Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi

 

I have PowerApps for SharePoint list. When the user save the form, I want to start a MS Flow which send a notification to users based on the list values.  In PowerApps, SharePointForm OnSuccess method, I am initiating MS Flow. It is working fine for most of the occastion. But some time the Flow itself not starting. Even for same user, Flow starting in one occation and other it didn't

 

Looking for the reason for this strange issue.

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Could you please share more details of your situation?

    How do you configure your flow and what is the formula expression of the submit form icon?

    Do you mean sometimes it works fine and sometimes not?

    If it not works fine, could you please try to refresh the flow and then test?

     

    Best Regards.

    Hi Yumia

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Find the formula on OnSucess of the SharePointForm. We want to start the MS Flow 'Prod_SalesFormReview' when user click on save.  It is working fine for most the occasion. But for sometime, the MS flow was not initiated at all.

     

    Prod_SalesFormReview.Run(SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.ID); ResetForm(SharePointForm1);RequestHide();

     

    Thanks & Regards

    Hi @Anonymous 

     

    Could you please change the formula expression as next and then test?

    SharePointIntegration.OnSave=SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Prod_SalesFormReview.Run(SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.ID)

    SharePointForm1.OnSuccess=ResetForm(SharePointForm1); RequestHide()

    Hi Yumia
    Currently the form in in Production. We see the issues in Production only. Can you explain the difference between both the code? As per my knowledge, OnSave will fire when user clicks on ‘Save’ button in the top.
    In our case, we are saving the form in the button click changing the values of the few fields based on the button click.
    Ex. We have option Save & Submit. ‘Save’ will just save the content to SharePoint list, in case ‘Submit’ will send notification to the reviewer. Based on the button, we setting value for ‘FormStatus’ column in SharePoint. When user clicks on ‘Save’, the FormStatus will be updated as ‘Draft’ and ‘Submiited’ in case of ‘Submit’ button.

    Thanks & Regards
