Add Record > Trigger Power Automate from App > Get a Row by ID

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a Teams/Power App using Dataverse.

I use a form to add a Request, and in the OnSuccess property of the form I am trying to trigger Power Automate, but I cant figure out how to get the right value to pass to Power Automate.

The first step of the flow is "Get a Row by ID" and it asks for the rows "globally unique identifier (GUID)".

In my Dataverse Table, it says the unique identifier is called "Requests". This is an auto-generated field, I did not add it.

So what I cant figure out is how get this field in Power Apps so that I can pass it through to Power Automate

// Send Notification Email
'ANZMPT-NewRequestNotification'.Run("me@mydomain.com",WHAT DO I PUT HERE?);

I'm not super knowledgeable about data types/field types etc so this a big challenge for me.

I wondered if I had to send the whole record, so I tried First(Filter(Requests,'Request ID' = FormNewRequest.LastSubmit.'Request ID');

Something like FormNewRequest.LastSubmit gives me an error straight away (red squiggly line under code)

Something like FormNewRequest.LastSubmit.crdcb_requestid is not 'available'

Hi @Anonymous,

No need to pass the entire record, just the ID should work.

In your flow, within the Get a Row by ID action, click into the Row ID field to bring up the Dynamic Content. Select "Ask in PowerApps", which will generate a new parameter with a datatype that matches the Row ID field, which is UniqueIdentifier in this case. Save the flow once done configuring.

In your form's OnSuccess, set the following formula:

'ANZMPT-NewRequestNotification'.Run("me@mydomain.com",FormNewRequest.LastSubmit.crdcb_requestid);

In my example below I'm only using 1 parameter and the Account entity (the Account field is the uniqueIdentifier), but illustrates the same idea.

Just a note of caution that the Ask in PowerApps Dynamic Content is NOT available if you are using the PowerApps (V2) Trigger.
