Hello
 
i created a power app canevas and i want to start a flow with a button 
 
The button would be in my canvas app, and i want that if i click on the button, my power automate  start immediatly 
 
I read this documentation : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/canvas-apps/using-logic-flows but it is retired and the trigger power app mentionned in the documentation does no longer exist 
 
How can we start a power automate by cliking on a button in power app ?

    Start Power Automate flow with Button
    HI,
     
    Super Simple
     
    Steps
     
    1. Create a Solution
     
    2. Add a New Flow to your solution.
    -Create an Instanct Flow
    -Select the Power Apps V2 Trigger 
     
     
    2. Add whatever Steps you want to do in the Flow
     
     
     
     
     
    Now this Flow is part of your Solution and your App will see it
     
    3. Create Your Canvas App in the same Solution
    Add your Button
    Once the App is Open, you need to click the Flow Tab on the Left Side
     
    4. Select the Flow
    I don't have any to add as I already added them
    but you would see your new flow there
     
    5. Once your Flow is added, you can now call it from the Button
     
    Here is my OnSelect, where I am calling flows I already have connected
     
    ['[Sample]SendAttachmenttoFlow'.Run("MySingleParameterValue")]
     
    So now I have called my Instant Flow from a button in my Canvas App
    My flow asked for a single parameter, you can add whatever you want, even JSON
     
    And answered
