Hi, I am new to ms flow and i need help on creating a flow according to the flowchart below. Please help me. I have tried but i am not getting updated status of cancelled or completed in 'Update Item'. I am not sure what error i am getting. Anyone can help me on how to create a flow from powerapps and generate a word document after approved?
Hey @meenuu
Can you share more details? By status cancelled/ approved, do you mean you want to update any fields? Alternatively, you can follow the below flow to create one based on the diagram you shared.
This flow is triggered from a PowerApps button (you can send any data you want and initialize variables accordingly). You have two levels of approvals and then finally populating a word template. You need to create the template and store it on the document library so that it can be populated in the action. Note that the Word connector in flow is a premium connector.
Hope this Helps!

Hi @yashag2255 , This is the flow i tried separately to generate document from sharepoint list. And this flow works fine.
Since Word connector in flow is a premium connector, i used the flow above and it works fine. I joined both flow and tried and i am getting error. 12
Can you share the error that you are getting? I see that you are passing the ID from PowerApps (this is the list item ID and can you confirm that you are passing it correctly)
If I enter informationn in my form and i am not getting any email for approval. Then i tested from the powerapps, and the flow was succesful. That was strange. And i tested in flow and i am getting this error.
There might be some issue in passing the ID of the item. Can you wrap the id of the item in a int and try sending it in the update action. I guess you are getting the ID value as a string from powerapps.
Hi @yashag2255 My flow works now but i have another issue. The flow is not working from the sharepoint, however it works from powerapps preview. I don't want to use 'when a item is created in sharepoint' because if the user wants to save as draft it will start to run flow for approval.
PowerappsSharepoint
@yashag2255 I couldn't find it. Where to find ?
When you select the item, you can see the flow icon and upon clicking that, you can see all the flows available.
To trigger the flow from SP, you will have to use the when an item is selected trigger and in that item the flow can be triggered.
Hope this helps!
