Posted on by sudosaurus 1,599 Super User 2024 Season 1

Hello,

I have an issue with my app where  1) when other users are trying to run the app - they are seeing this message about the Encodian connection when running the app - the connection for this is shared to a security group that the users are a member of - I have also tested this with an independent user account but annoyingly experiencing same issue.

As Encodian support has suggested, they asked me to remove the flow from my app and re-add it - having done so, I am seeing the below on my button fx in the app

sudosaurus_2-1695986097673.png

This was working for my own account before I removed the flow and added it back into the app as you can see from the below:

My flow is setup as below:

Concat (HTML data) - for the below Encodian action

concat('<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<table style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<td>
',triggerBody()['text'],'
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td>
<img src="',outputs('Compose_-_Photo_to_base64'),'" />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</td>
</tr>

<tr>

',triggerBody()['text_4'],'
</td>
</tr>

</table>

In my app, I am using the following HTML text controls which use html as follows - these are the ones that are referenced in the .Run button Fx:

Any thoughts as to what is wrong here?

    HI @sudosaurus , For the first issue. When you add a user to security group, the sync of membership of group takes sometime. So, in this after adding a user to security group and please ask user to wait for sometime. If the issue persist, then in that case, ask the user to clear the cache of browser or open in app in inprivate mode.

     

    For 2nd issue, the error clearly says that flow is expecting 6 input parameter and you are passing 7 input parameter and also in PowerApps V2 trigger, I can see there are only 6 input parameter required, then whey you are passing the one extra parameter to flow?

     

    The might be working for you when there was 7 input parameter was required. But I think you made some changes to Flow and now it requires only 6 parameter, so you have remove that one extra parameter.

     

    Also, you have to pass the parameter in same sequence in which it is declared in PowerApps trigger in flow.

    I hope this helps.

    @ANB so it looks like Text = varBody is missing as an input - does it matter where this is listed in the below trigger?

    Can I just add it on at the end or does it need to be in order?

    Hi @sudosaurus , Do you even require that parameter in flow? If yes, then you can add the 7th parameter in PowerApps trigger V2 and then pass from app as last parameter.

    @ANB 

    Having looked at previous flow runs, I can see that parameter in there, although I can't recount whether it was there originally as I don't recall deleting it from the flow myself.
