I have a canvas app where I have added a command bar button to trigger a flow. I trying to chnage the OnSelect event to a function where I can trigger the flow MyFlow.Run()

But I am unable to view the flow ?

Best regards

If you're unable to see your flow in the OnSelect property of a command bar button in your Canvas app, here are a few things to check and try:

✅ Checklist to Make Your Flow Appear in Power Apps

Ensure the Flow Is Created for Power Apps

When creating the flow in Power Automate, make sure the trigger is:
PowerApps (V2)

If the flow starts with another trigger (like HTTP or a scheduled trigger), it won’t be available in Power Apps.

Save and Refresh

After creating the flow, save it, then go back to Power Apps Studio and refresh the data sources.

You may need to close and reopen the app for the flow to appear.

Add the Flow Manually

In Power Apps Studio:

Go to Action > Power Automate

Click + Add Flow

Select your flow from the list

Once added, you can call it using:

MyFlow.Run(parameters)

Check Environment

Make sure the flow and the app are in the same environment. Flows created in a different environment won’t show up.

Permissions

Ensure you have the right permissions to use the flow in Power Apps. You should be the owner or have edit access.

Hi @CU01080834-1,

I will try to elaborate on the previous ChatGPT-generated response.

Please confirm that you have added it to the App (can you see it in the left panel when you choose Power Automate )

If it is not there, you will have to add it

If you cannot see it in the list to add, can you please post a screenshot of your Flow and confirm that it is in the same Environment as the App.
