Hi,

For a workflow approval system, I have a created a flow which gets input from powerapps (stores in sharepoint list) , sends a approval mail in outlook with attachments and after approval updates a field (status) in sharepoint list.

In powerapps, for running the flow i have 5 arguments (Title, cost, approver mail ID, status ID & attachments). So i have the following code for it

Powerappsworkflow3_group.Run(Form.LastSubmit.Title, Form.LastSubmit.Cost, Form.LastSubmit.Approver.Email, Form.LastSubmit.ID, Form.LastSubmit.Attachments).

It shows 'This Run has invalid arguments'

If I run the flow without the attachments, it is working fine.

So can you provide me with the correct argument syntax for run to resolve my issue?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you want to pass the attachments from your app to your flow?

If you want to pass the attachments from your app to your flow, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs in PowerApps currently.

The result the Form.LastSubmit.Attachments formula returned is a Table value, but currently, within Microsoft Flow, it could only accept String parameters passed from an app.

If you would like this feature to be added in PowerApps, please consider submit an idea to PowerApps Ideas Forum:

Actually, based on the needs that you mentioned, I think it is not necessary to use a PowerApps app to fire a flow to send the Approval email, instead, I think Microsoft Flow could achieve your needs completely.

On your side, please consider configure your flow as below:

Within your flow, you should use "When an item is created" trigger as the Trigger of your flow instead of the "PowerApps" trigger button (other actions within your flow do not need to change, you just need to modify the Dynamics content references within other actions from the "PowerApps" trigger into the "When an item is created" trigger). Then your flow would be fired when any new item is created in your SP list.

If you want to get the attachments attached to the new item in your SP List, I think the "Get attachments" action of SP connector could achieve your needs.

Best regards,
