Power automate flows between two model driven apps

Hello all,

 

I'm new in regards to the Power Platform and I'm kinda lost in the possibilities with Power Automate. For my business I want to build two model-driven apps (started already). Both apps are in the same environment. 


the setup

App A has a form with a couple of simple text fields and a file upload. This functions as a submission/request to another department:
casenumber:    0005
Question:   3
Street: abc
number: 23
City: Hello
Files: X, Y, Z

App B has the same column names thus can act as fields. 


Expected result

I want to create a flow that when the user hits a button in the form, it starts a flow that grabs the input of the fields in App A (and the files if possible) and create a new record in App B. I know you also start a flow with clicking on a record but that seems a bit error-sensitive.

 

I Tried
I tried to make a button in a canvas app and embedded this into the app (which works) but now I'm unsure how to grab the input from the selected textfields and files and start the flow. 

Can someone help me out?

Thank you in advance!
