Hi All,

I have a portal page that has an embedded powerapps canvas app. The canvas app contains a button that performs a function. The function is a flow that uploads a file, and the flow returns details of the uploaded file, e.g. the URL of the file. Is it possible to make the portal page aware of when the function, triggered by the clicked button, has been completed, e.g. make the portal page aware of the URL?

Thanks

Hi @paulsnolan ,

If your canvas app is in the same environment once the flow is completed, you can set your variable and return the status to flow using `is successful` flow settings. capture this flag success message back to dataverse. This indicates your URL is generated. Then you can retrieve the generated URL from dataverse table and return it back to Portal.

Hope it helps.

Thanks ragavanrajan

What do you mean by 'capture this flag success message back to dataverse'?

Hi @paulsnolan

This is an example

In the power automate step. If you click on the three dots ellipsis > select "configure run after"

Then select the following flag selected depends on your need

As mentioned, you can have a variable in your power automate and capture the above flags in your variable and pass it back to power apps. Then you can capture it in collection or any fields and patch it to dataverse or database of your choice.

Hope it helps.

Hi ragavanrajan

Thanks for the reply. I already have a variable which captures the Path of the uploaded file (using 'Respond to a PowerApp of Flow' step)

I need to be able to make the portal page aware of this variable. Is this what you mean by 'patch it to dataverse or datbase of your choice'? Could you expand on what you mean by this please?

What I am trying to achieve is to make my portal page aware that the button on the embedded canvas app has been clicked, then the portal page will redirect to another page, like a click event being fired which would trigger a redirect

Hi ragavanrajan

Is what I'm trying to achieve, see my second reply, possible? When you say 'patch it to dataverse or database of your choice' do you mean update an entity or some kind of environment variable? Would the portal page which contains the embedded page have to 'watch' for this value changing?
Thanks
