Posted on by Kiruthika22

I need to show a loading spinner until a power automate flow completes on click of a button..

I have given the following code:

Set(SpinVisible,true);

Flow.Run(par1,par2);

Set(SpinVisible,false);

on the spinner's visibility property: SpinVisible

But this is not working ..The spinner is visible on click of the button but as soon as the flow starts it disappears while the flow is still running.

Hi @Kiruthika22

take a animated gif spinner or progressbar (you can find many free gifs). Place it on your screen via image container.

onstart: from your screen
- updatecontext({showSpinner: false})

visible: on your Image use showSpinner

Place at the beginning from your flow in your code
- updatecontext({showSpinner: true})
And on the ende from your flow in your code
- updatecontext({showSpinner: false})

This works for me fine and i use this method

Hope it's helps

Regard
Tamer

You can also use the Power Automate Respond to PowerApps action for your app to check the value returned by the flow (error, success, etc).

Return data to PowerApps from a flow, build lists in a flow, and test a flow with previous run data | Power Automate Blog (microsoft.com)

@Kiruthika22 use Power Automate Respond to PowerApps action for your app to check the value returned by the flow. You then show loading spinner and execute flow. After response you then set loading spinner visible to false.
