    Your flow only has one "Ask in Power Apps" input, file. You need another input for the name. If you edited the flow after adding it to the app, just drop a new button on the canvas, link it to the flow which refreshes the trigger then delete the new button and go back to your original formula to see if it's now accepting that extra parameter.

    That looks good. Try refreshing the trigger in the app as I described above.
