Issue creating a Flow within PowerApps

Posted on by AXFinanceuser

Hi,

I am having an issue trying to create a flow within PowerApps for a Canvas app I am trying to design.

When I select Flows form the make.PowerApps.com site, I select create new flow.

Then I select create from blank.

I search for connectors and find the one I am looking for: "Common Data Services - When a record is created". However, I can't select it to assign the Environment, Entity or scope - which are my next steps. When I select the connector, nothing happens.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mick

Flows that are initiated by PowerApps always use a PowerApps button trigger. You can go to the Flow designer if you want to make a Flow with a Common Data Services trigger. But that Flow will run independently from the PowerApp you are creating. Otherwise create the flow to trigger with a PowerApps button and then add a data source connection to CDS.

What are you trying to accomplish. Please explain a bit more and we can help with the design.
