Connecting a Power Automate Flow to Power Apps

This post relates to this video: https://youtu.be/d4e1whKVJU4

(another related video: https://youtu.be/0U5jax-zMIc)

I have created a Power Automate Flow following the above video, I have then created a Power App (Leave Request), when I go to the App and click the below tab on the left hand side, I should be able to see the Flow I have created but I can't.

Both the Power Automate Flow and Power App are created under my O365 login.

I saw another post which said the Power App Designer would only see flows that use the Power Apps trigger, but unsure what this means as I have setup the Flow following all the instructions.

Can someone help point me in the right direction please?

So whoever you talked to is correct; unless you have the flow triggered by a PowerApps input, you can't add it to PowerApps. To solve your issue should be quite simple, you just delete the original trigger ("When Item is Created") and replace it with the PowerApps trigger (see below). Then, you add in the Get Items function right below that, and put in the name of your SharePoint list just as you did on the original trigger, and then PowerApps should allow you to add the flow.

What the old trigger was doing is it waited to be triggered until an item was created in your SharePoint list, so PowerApps would be uninvolved; but this new flow waits to get an input from PowerApps, which seems to be what you're looking for.

I recommend watching a few videos on how to integrate a flow with PowerApps, Raza is a very good resource, and so is Shane Young.
