Trigger an already existing SharePoint Flow via Powerapps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all,

 

I have a SharePoint Flow and a SharePoint Powerapps Formular.

I want to execute the SP Flow if I hit the "Save" Button.  Could I somehow put the Flow ID in the "Submit" part of the button to trigger or do I have to  create a PowerApps Flow?

    You need the trigger of the Flow to be PowerApps in order for it to appear in PowerApps.

    You can create a new Flow from PowerApps and in that flow you can call the Already Existing Flow by using the Run a child flow (p.s. to use this your flow must be in a solution)

     

    Please click Accept as Solution if it resolved your problem or give it a Thumbs Up if it helped you in anyway this will allow other people to search correct solutions effectively.

    Thanks,

    Rahber

    @Rahber  thx

    What does it mean "your flow must be in a solution"

    Got the solution part, but how can I run a child flow?

    @Rahber  thank you

    It seems, does it will not work with a Powerapp based on a SharePoint Form.

    I can´t add the Flow from the solution into Powerapps.

     

    I can create a new app within the solution but that is then not based on the SharePoint Formular.

    Any ideas?
