Power Apps - Error on parameter to Run function (Invalid argument type (Text). Expecting a Record Value instead.

I am trying to call a Power Automate flow from within my Power App. I get the error "Error on parameter to Run function (Invalid argument type (Text). Expecting a Record Value instead" when I try to input the third parameter. The third parameter is defined in my PA flow as text. I have removed the flow from the app, deleted and re-added the Power Apps V2 trigger in the flow, and re-added the flow to the Power App, and I'm still getting the error.

When I searched for information on the error, the only results I found were how to resolve the error: "Error on parameter to Run function (Invalid argument type (Record). Expecting a Text Value instead" (which is the opposite of the error I'm getting.

Has anyone encountered this error, and how did you get past it.

I have the exact same error and have wasted close on a whole day trying to resolve this. My second parameter is optional, and was originally a date, but in frustration re-did the underlying flow and made the second parameter text, but now getting the exact error you are getting. I have tried formatting the second parameter using the Text function, passing it as a date, etc all with no change (other than the error message changes from 'Text' to 'Date' depending on the data type I try to pass in. So frustrating.

The only way I resolved this in the end was to make the parameters required, and deal with passing in an empty string in the Flow.
