I hope I'm ok posting this here and not the Power Automate forum. See below flow, its named "CurrentTemp". The idea will be do a button to be pressed in my app and its add an item in a sharepoint list this the current temp of the users location. The issue im having is how to get this working in Power Apps. The Get current weather step only allows me location as Getcurrentweather_location (within Power Apps) therefore the formula would be CurrentTemp.Run(Getcurrentweather_Location), however I don't know what to put in the bracket to gather the location? When making a manual trigger directly in Power Automate the Get current weather step allows me to choose city, country etc and gather automatically, however I do think I can use the manual trigger in Power Apps?
From Virtual Agents I pass it the following info
So I imagine if you make the variable powerapps is passing in that format it would probably work
City Name Zipcode
In mine they are separate variable, which you could do, but I also think they would be fine as a single string separated by a space
You could do this from the powerapp as well using the MSN weather data connector.
For example: MSNWeather.CurrentWeather(BingMaps.GetLocationByPoint(Location.Latitude, Location.Longitude).name, "M").responses.weather.current.temp -> Outputs current temp for current location.
That too, haha just assumed there was a reason you wanted to use flows
In case he does need to use flow could he combine our answers to make an easier way to do it? For example for the location in the MSN Weather flow step, just pass that to the flow from powerapps using:
BingMaps.GetLocationByPoint(Location.Latitude, Location.Longitude).name
Yes, just tested this and sending
to powerautomate will generate a proper location for the weather connector.
@BPowerApps If you would liek to use this go here and sign up for the /free/ version of the api, it should provide you enough functionality for your use case, looks like you can call on it 125k times per year in free mode?
if I’m following correctly, when doing so like your images but with the Power Apps steps, the location only allows my to choose “Choose in Power Apps”.
I don’t have to use Power Automate, however I’m quite new to it and thought it would be a good idea to help learn it.
I tried your suggestion in Power Apps and the formula doesn’t work. I type MSNWeather.CurrentLocation( then BingMaps isn’t recognised so I can’t follow the rest of the formula.
Worked for me in a test liek so,
Use the PowerApps V2 trigger, with a text input set to name Location.
I then passed to it "Universal City, CA 91608"
and referenced the location variable in locvation of the get weather.
It ran properly and emailed me the weather as requested
Yah that bingmaps is another datasource you have to add from the datasources tab, you then need to give it an API key which you get at the signup liink i shared above
I would need this to show for the users current location, would this still work?
