Hello everyone,

I am following the instructions of this:
https://powerapps.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/return-an-array-from-flow-to-powerapps-response-method/

Unfortunately instead of retrieving the records, I retrieve a True value.

This is the flow:

Here is the expression that collects the data from the FlowAs you can see the flow sends back data
Here is what the flow returns
Does anyone know why? I would like to have the data and not the true value.
Thank you

Hi @Mike8,

Could you please share more details bout the apps you create to get the data from flow?

Have you collect the result of that flow to a collection?

I afraid that maybe there is something wrong on your apps.

Please check the configuration of your app and see if you have collect the result of that flow refer to the link you provided.

Please let me know if you find the problem and the issue could be solved.

Best regards,

Alice

Why is this closed? Still return "True" when it's returning an Array from Flow. Have you found the solution?

Hello,

I had my Response action wrong. I had forgotten to add the body. Silly mistake. Check your flow. I think it's going to be smth similar.

Kind regards,

Can you try to go to View--> Datasources select the 3 dots of the flow you are refering to, remove it and add again?

Hi,

I'm bumping this as I've just spent around 5 hours trying to figure this out. Hopefully this may help someone.

The answer for me was to simply recreate your Flow. For whatever reason, PowerApps doesn't play nice if your Flow is created before the PowerApp (?). I got to the stage of creating my Timer within the PowerApp (OnTimerEnd Runs the Flow and adds the response to a collection), deleted the existing Flow, recreated it manually, added the new Flow to OnTimerEnd from the Flow button in the command bar within the Action tab (I believe this is required to refresh the Flows available to you in the PowerApp), and built my ClearCollect function around it e.g. ClearCollect(Weather, WeatherFlow.Run("London")).

Gave that a test and it all worked, I now have data in my table not the boolean value of "True".
