Powerapps and Flow

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

I am creating a flow for data entry I SharePoint list. The Trigger is a PowerApps form:

1: power apps form has a button that calls a flow on click

2: I am trying to capture name of that trigger button and save it in SharePoint list.

3: One field in flow is TYPE STRING and its purpose is to capture value/name of that trigger button to store in SharePoint list

4: but when i call flow by clicking this trigger button , it is capturing false/true instead of trigger button name.

I understands since this is trigger could be the reason of this boolean value but i need to have a name entry such as X or Y for both buttons Why i cannot figure out. any idea how to get button's name instead of false?

So here is my flow called PAtest1, I use a Compose action to check the returned value:

Here is my button:

Here is my result:

Compare with yours to find the difference.

Best regards,

Allen

Please check if this helps:
1. Create a button
2. In the flow, initialize your variable where you want to store the Button Text property. Use "Ask in PowerApps"
3. In the PowerApps button, attach the flow and on OnSelect write the following code:
PowerAppsbutton.Run(Button1.Text)
where PowerAppsbutton is the name of the flow.
Output:
When you click on the button, the flow will run and get the name of the trigger button:
