How to Run a Flow using PowerApps button

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Help!!

 

I have powerapp with a dropdown that lists several different departments and a button. The idea is for when the dropdown field selects a department and the apply project permissions button is pushed, a powerapps flow would run to update fields within a sharepoint list where dropdown field  = department X. (I've already figured out the Apply to Each part of my Flow) In the example below, when the SharePoint Team department is selected, the flow would ONLY update rows where department field in the SharePoint list would equal SharePoint team.

 

How can I finish the flow to make this happen?

 

Also, what should the OnSelect Formula be to run the flow?

 

THANKS!!

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    The OnSelect Formula should be:

    PowerAppsbutton.Run(Dropdown.Selected.Value)

     

    You could add a "Filter Array" action under the "Get items" action to filter the items which's department field is equal to the SharePoint team (Dropdown.Selected.Value).

     

    Best regards,

    Alice
