    Hi @Hanan-khamissy 
    Is there a reason you want to run a flow to create the item in SharePoint?
    Since you could just do a Patch()-function and create a new item directly from PowerApps

    Patch(
     SharePointList,
     Defaults(SharePointList),
     {
     name:InputField1.Text,
     otherField:InputField2.Text
     }
    )

    Above is an psudo example of that that can be ran on the OnSelect-property on your button in PowerApp to create a new record in your SharePoint List.

    If you need to use a Flow, you can trigger one by creating a flow with a PowerApps or PowerAppsV2 Trigger (need to be an instant flow) and then call it from the Onselect property on you button using the Run-function.

    YourPowerAutomateFlow.Run(<parameters>)
