Drop down control section as a value in power automate

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 42

Hello, 

I am just starting to get into power apps.

Right now, I am struggling to receive the selected text or value from a drop-down choice in power apps as an input for a variable in a power automate flow. 

I want to have this selection from a drop-down in my teams app:

As the input for this compose action in my flow:

The flow is running with the other inputs working correctly. The only issue is the highlighted part of the function:

Please let me know if you need anymore details

    You could create a variable from the selected value and add that to your Flow parameters?

    Eg

    // dropdown OnChange
    {UpdateContext({ vSiteSelection: Self.Slected.Result})
    
    // use vSiteSelection in your Flow call instead of your LookUp

     

    Also, your LookUp is written incorrectly. You have a extra comma at the end and you haven't specified a field to be returned - so you are going to return a record if you just remove that comma
