Running a flow from a button

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 287

I created a flow using Power Automate, tested it and it works perfectly.  I am learning Power apps and building a few sample apps and want to associate a button to run the flow.  My flow doesn't show up in the power app anywhere I can find and I can't figure out how to associate it with my flow.  What am I missing?

    Thank you for the advice.   I am creating Powerapps AND Flows from the same login - my company login.   That doesn't seem to help?

    Here is a picture of the flow, not sure how to post the code.

    I'm thinking it shouldn't matter should it?  If I design a flow to simple add 1 + 1 = 2 and send me an email with that, I would create the flow in the Power Automate area, then go to the Power App, make a button and then somehow launch the flow from the button.  Am I missing something?

    hi @astrontelstar  the flow you have is being trigger manually, you need to create one thats triggered by power apps
