How to pass additional parameters from PowerApps to Power Automate through the Run function

Hi,
I have a button in {owerapps that successfully creates a PDF, saves it to the SharePoint Documents folder, and attaches it to an email in Power Automate.
PowerApps

Power Automate

I would also like to send some additonal parameters from Powerapps such as names and email addresses to be used in the email.

I want to use the globalSelectedItemId to LookUp a different SharePoint List : Incidentdatabase2024 and match it to the IncidentN column.

Based on this I would like it to pass the relevant info to PowerAutomate.

To do this, do I need to change the PowerApps trigger to include text?

Do I need a different input for each item of text. For example, if I am wanting to get the Stafffirst, Stafflast, Staffemail, Housecompemail and 'Created By' (the email and name?)

I am not sure if I should create variables for each in PowerApps:

I tried this and then addign to the run, but it creates an error.
SPDFTSP.Run({file:{name: globalSelectedItemId & ".pdf",contentBytes:PDF(Gallery4, {ExpandContainers:true, Size: PaperSize.A4})}},
staffFirst,staffLast, staffEmail, houseCompEmail, createdBy
)

Would I be better to send the globalSelectedItemId to the Power Automate and have it get the items from the Incidentdatabase2024??

I'm out of my depth 😖

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.😊

Hi @Newbie2019

If you just pass the item ID from power apps to power automate flow then you wouldn't need to add new parameters if in future some changes is required in email template. You could just pass the ID and then withing power automate just add the "Get item" action pass the ID to get the whole item. From dynamic content window, you could easily choose the column's value required for email or any other operation.

If this helps & solves your problem, please remember to give a 👍 and accept my solution as it will help others in the future.

Thanks

Hi @ManishSolanki
Thank you for your reply. Is there a way to include the passing of the ID in the Run function? As the email address will be dependent on globalSelectedItemId (This is a number I have created for each entry that makes it easier for staff to track. For example 353163418 Day of the year (Out of 365) and time hhmmss).
Do i get the ID for example: LookUp(Incidentdatabase2024, IncidentN = globalSelectedItemID, ID) and then store this in a variable (let's say varID). Then include this in the run?
SPDFTSP.Run({file:{name: globalSelectedItemId & ".pdf",contentBytes:PDF(Gallery4, {ExpandContainers:true, Size: PaperSize.A4})}}, varID)
I am not sure if that would even work.
Sorry for all of the questions.
Thanks
