Posted on by slalithprasad 74

Hello, I am running a desktop flow which has input variables and output variables from Power Automate Portal using Instant flow. I am able to send in the input variables from the desktop flow action but can you guys tell me how can i read the output variables from PAD and use it back in my Instant Flow? Please Help, thanks.

Edit -  Guys, I have found the answer, it gets populated when I try to set a variable. Sorry for wasting your time, not really sure how to delete this message.

    Hello, 

     

    I am facing the same issue, I created a Desktop Flow that is triggered by a Cloud Flow in a Power App. I created three output variables and I would like to see them (as you see them) in the body of the Output. Unfotunately I only get a body containing {} and nothing else. 

     

    I am probably doing something wrong and I might have the same issue you had. Could you please provide more information about how did you solve it?

     

    Thanks in advance, have a nice day!

     

    Dennis.
