Pass Variable names to the flow not the value of the response

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all, is there any way to pass a variable name from PVA to Flow? I can pass on the value stored as response in the variable but not the actual variable name. I need to get the name of the variable in PVA and send that as an email to myself.

Just trying to fulfill a requirement.

    You can only pass the value to the workflow.

    If you want to explain better about your requirement, maybe I can try to find a new workaround to do it, like calling bot Framework Composer and then call Power Automate passing fixed values or something like that.

    I am saving my conditions in a variable and naming the variable as "Topic Name". so when a user clicks a response, I send an email to myself. At the moment, I can receive the response selected by the user but not the name of the variable in which the response is saved.

    Unfortunately, you can't do it yet.

    We have some ideas in the Community to make available to create your own variables without a question, but we don't have any planned feature that covers this item yet.

    Creating your own variable would solve my issue, I hope it gets released soon
