My Flow doesnt work in Power Apps

Hi, Power Apps first timer here.

 

I am currently building my leave apps and need to add approval flow every time there is new leave submission. However, the flow did not work even I have successfully created a submission, I checked in the Power Automate the flow runs perfectly but I need to enter the approver email manually. Im trying to find a tutorial here and there and it always shows that we can add flow directly to a button but somehow i cant add the flow to the button. Can anyone help with my issue?

    Hi @safiranrd ,

     

    If you want to insert a flow into a canvas app, then the trigger of this flow must be PowerApps(V2).
