    Hi @nani5swamy, is your Flow being triggered from a PowerApps trigger?

     

    If so, you can use the Respond to PowerApps action to pass something back to your PowerApp e.g. the name of the person who has responded to the approval step.

     

    There is also some work to do within PowerApps to be able to use this functionality. You will need to wrap your call to Flow in a variable e.g. Set(varApproval,MyApprovalFlow.Run()). Then when you observe the contents of the variable with PowerApps you'll see that you'll have some data stored within the variable to work with.

    Hi @MattWeston365 ,

     

    Thanks for your suggestion. I tried using Respond Approver ID to set the value to powerapps user(lookup) column but we couldn't able to achieve that.

     

    Please let us know which component to be used to set value.
