Send a success or failed notification back to PowerApps

Hi all, hope someone can help me.

 

I have only started teaching myself PowerApps in the last month or so. I have created an app which allows users to take photos, attach relevent metadata to the photo and then upload it to SharePoint.

 

We've been testing this and some of the feedback has been on notifying the users whether the upload was successful or not.

 

I cannot figure out how to create seperate messages to say whether or not the upload succeeded.

 

I have come across several tutorials and threads, this one here worked for me but I don't know how to expand that to show if the file upload failed: Solved: How do you make flow send back message to powerapp... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

 

I also came across this thread here, however when I tried to follow that I got an ActionSchemaInvalid message. Solved: "Success" Message after a flow run - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

 

This then led me to this thread here. One person mentions that they saved their response in a variable then set the variable in different conditional branches which are then all added into the Respond to PowerApps step. This I think could work for me except for one problem, I don't know how to do that.

Solved: Re: Respond to PowerApps Error: 'schema definition... - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

 

Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. My flow is below:

    Thanks Johnny. That worked.

     

    Truth be told I had missed on a very small detail. In both PowerApp responses, the Title on each output needed to be the same. I only realised this when I did an exact copy of your solution and it worked, then amended a Title on the if failed response and got the same ActionSchemaInvalid message. Went through all my previous attempts and it worked. True forehead slap moment.

     

    Thank you for taking the time to answer me query. Greatly appreciated.

    Hi Riley,

    Please try below sample suggestions which uses scope to include all required actions then use parallel branch to send failure info back to Power Apps. You just need to set 'configure run after' under failed branch and return flow run failed info.
