Hello, I'm starting with Power Virtual Agents and I was following this video How to Lookup EXCEL DATA with Microsoft Power Virtual Agents - YouTube to create a chatbot with a flow, however, I can't get the last variable from the flow to appear on the chatbot and I can't figure out why.

Can anyone help me with that? pictures of the flow and chat bot attached. 

Best regards

    Hello, I don't know what was creating the issue but I delete everything (chatbot and flow) and it started working. 

    Thanks for the help.

    Hello @Expiscornovus, thanks for your feedback. I checked my flow and the chatbot, and the output is there, I've even created a second one just to test (see attached), but it's not showing. Another strange thing is that as you can see on the image from the chatbot, the name of the return value appears there, but it shows as 0.Any suggestion?

    Hi @Mouraj,

     

    Just to double check, did you create an output variable in the last step of your flow?

    After that the cloud flow output variable should be available for mapping to a PVA variable in the Outputs section of your action.

     

    When that mapping is done, it should be listed for selection in the Message action as well.
