Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello,

I need my power app to pass the name and email address of the user through to a flow. The user will press a button that starts the flow. The button starts the flow and I want to include them in an email I send in the flow (as well as other people), as well as sign off the email with their name.

What's the best way of passing that information across? I was thinking a hidden form that simply has two cells with that info in it, but hoped there might be a tidier way?

Thanks

If I understand your requirements correctly, I would suggest adding multiple input variables for the Power Automate flow, such as name, email, recipientsName, and recipientsEmail.

In the Power App, you can create a button with an OnSelect property that triggers the flow and sets the following input parameters:

The current user's name
The current user's email
An array of recipient names
An array of recipient email addresses

Once the flow is triggered, you will have all the information you need to compose a personalized email message for each recipient, including their name and email address.

Using a hidden form is not necessary, as the input parameters can also be passed directly to the flow. Unless, you want your users to write them in the form.
