I have a flow in my powerapp that runs at the very end of the patch statement while grabing last patched items ID and then flow is putting the files in a sharepoint list and associates it with that item ID. How do i check id the flow ran successfully and notify user on screen?

Here is my code:

ForAll(FileAttachments.Attachments,
SaveAttachments.Run(recID,
{
file: {
contentBytes:Value,
name: Name
}
}

)
);

Hi @jja ,

You could try:

ForAll( FileAttachments.Attachments, SaveAttachments.Run(recID,{file: {contentBytes:Value,name: Name}}); Notify("File "& Name &" has been uploaded") );

Best Regards,

Hi @jja,

At the end of your flow you can put a respond to power Apps.

Then in Power Apps you can use this formula :
If( Flow.Run(Input1, Input2).success = "True", Notify("Data submitted succesfully",NotificationType.Success,2000), Notify("Error occurred, please contact your administrator",NotificationType.Error,5000) )

Hope this will help you 🙂

On the response action that returns "false," you need to configure the run after so it only runs when the previous action fails. Edit the flow, then click the three dots on that action. There should be an item called "configure run after."

do i need to write If statement already after the flow was executed? for me it seems if i write if statement it again tried to execute flow where i need to check only the result of flow. and i also can't pass input2 to if statement where input 2 is
{file: {contentBytes:Value,name: Name}}

Even if it's inside an If() statement, it still runs the flow. Running the flow and checking its result is done in the same step. I would try something like this. This collects the filename and the flow's result into a two-column collection. Run this on an item that has more than one attachment, and then view the collection in the editor, and see if it shows correctly. If all works well, then you can display this collection in a small gallery or data table after the submission to show the user all of the files that were successfully (or unsuccessfully) saved/uploaded. I may have the indenting wrong, as I composed this in Notepad++

Clear(colSaveResults); ForAll( FileAttachments.Attachments, Collect( colSaveResults, { File: Name Result: SaveAttachments.Run(recID, { file: { contentBytes:Value, name: Name } } ).success } ) )
