Respond to a PowerApp or Flow problem parallel branch

Hi, 

I added a first response action in my Flow (in the screenprint below on the left-hand side) and specified that the response shall only be send if the previous steps fail, time out or are skipped. This works nicely. 

However, when I try to add another response in case everything worked fine before, I receive the following error message:

FlowA.png

Can somebody help me understanding why that happens?

As soon as I enter the last action 'OK' on the right hand side, the error message pops up. 

Would be great if somebody could help. 

Many thanks, 

Ludwig

    You can't have two Respond to Power Apps actions in the same flow.  This is a particular problem since you are defining two different parameters in the two actions.  Power Apps needs to be able to expect a specific schema for the response.

     

    The way to do what you are trying is to set a status message variable where you have the two responses now and then once you exit the condition and are back in a single branch you can process the Respond to Power Apps and supply the variable as the text message returned.
