HI,
I would like to create an Azure Runbook (PowerShell) using some of the PowerShell for PowerApps cmdlets.
Todo this I need to manually add the Module to the Azure Automation Account. When trying to import the zip folder of files (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/administrator/powerapps-powershell#installation) i get a "Importing of module failed" message with an error of:
Error importing the module PowerAppsCmdlets-V5. Import failed with the following error: Orchestrator.Shared.AsyncModuleImport.ModuleImportException: Cannot import the module of name PowerAppsCmdlets-V5, as the module structure was invalid.
Is this possible?
Once again thanks for your reply.
The good news is that it looks like MS have published the PowerApps modules into the Modules library on the 4th January. Excellent timing.
Cheers
Hi @Anonymous,
Do you want to import PowerApps cmdlets module into your Azure Runbook?
Based on the error message that you provided, I think there is no way to import PowerApps cmdlets module into a Azure Runbook currently.

Thanks for your reply Kris.
I have no trouble using the cmdlets and retrieving results using the zipped files on my local machine as you've described..
What i'm struggling with is how I now replicate this using code using an Azure Runbook which we will used to automate some admin tasks we have. I can't find a way of importing the modules needed into the Modules container within the Azure Automation Account which is needed for me to use the cmdlets (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/automation-runbook-gallery)
The error messages are given when trying to import the Ziped folder into the Modules container.
Error importing the module PowerAppsCmdlets-V5. Import failed with the following error: Orchestrator.Shared.AsyncModuleImport.ModuleImportException: Cannot import the module of name PowerAppsCmdlets-V5, as the module structure was invalid.
Hi @Anonymous,
Could you please share more details about the error message on your side?
Further, could you please share a bit more about the PowerApps cmdlets you used within your PowerShell window?
I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. The screenshot as below:
Please take a try to use the following PowerApps cmdlets to import PowerApps module within your PowerShell window:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Force dir . | Unblock-File Import-Module .\Microsoft.PowerApps.Administration.PowerShell.psm1 -Force Import-Module .\Microsoft.PowerApps.PowerShell.psm1 -Force Add-PowerAppsAccount
Please check and see if the following blog would help in your scenario:

Note: Please go into the unziped PowerShell script file (download here) firstly, then run your Windows PowerShell as Administrator.
Best regards,
Kris
