Automate return blank data to PowerApps

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have a test flow to pass data back to PowerApps from Automate.

However, the returned data is always blank even though the flow ran fine.

Also, I can't find the field "success".

Why is this happening? Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Are you saving the return value to a variable?  It should look something like this:

    Set(myReturn, flowname.run())

    There is also an issue returning numbers.  As you can see from the output of the JSON its a string, but Power Apps will be expecting a number so it won't work.  Its a long standing bug in the Respond to Power apps Action.

    Thank you for your reply! I didn't know that numbers cannot be passed. Also, I could get the result using your method after removing and re-adding the flow. I think that helps to refresh variables.

    Removing and re-adding the flow is required if you make any changes to the flow, particularly in terms of input or output parameters.
