Using PowerAutomate to Get a Record to Create a New Record

Hi everyone! I am trying to use PowerAutomate to get a record and use information from that record to create a new record in a different entity. The trigger will be in PowerApps by clicking a button. The issue I am coming up with is what text to use as the Item identifier in the get record and then what to put in the Run section in the app.

I found this originally under this post but it did not answer how to put this into the Power App. https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps-Formerly/Copy-Gallery-Selected-Record-to-different-Entity/td-p/44110

The record identifier is the unique value that identifies the record (e.g. Account in the Accounts entity) See this blog post for an example. It even says 'unique identifer' on the description of the field being added to flow. Perhaps there is an equivalent in the prospect entity. https://www.inogic.com/blog/2019/05/update-existing-records-in-dynamics-365-crm-using-microsoft-flow/

Suppose the prospect's unique identifier was 213541. You would pass it to RUN like this.
ConvertToMember.Run(213541)

Or if the unique ID was a text string like P1025 you would pass it like this.
ConvertToMember.Run(P1025)
