Call a flow using a Variable to Delete a Row in Excel

Hi, 
 

I am trying to pass a variable created in Power Apps, to a Flow I have created. Is this even possible? and If it is possible can someone guide me?

I have enabled the flow within my Power Apps. I have looked for the 'Ask for Power Apps' in dynamic content but can't find it. I believe this is because this was a feature in V1 of "When Power Apps call's a flow". Is this Accurate?

Thanks !

    You are correct. The version 1 Power Apps trigger added parameters to the trigger by using a Dynamic content field called "Ask in Power Apps". But that trigger has been removed. The newer Power Apps v2 trigger that you should be using has a prompt in the trigger that lets you create specific parameters of certain data types in the trigger. Those parameters will then show up in the flow as dynamic content so you can use them. You will then be prompted in Power Apps when you run() the flow to add a value or variable containing the value you want to pass. The screenshot below shows a v2 trigger where I've added a Text parameter and then a Compose where I've inserted the Text parameter from dynamic content.

    Hello - 
     
    I think so. Maybe my screen shots will point you in the right direction.
     
    When an app button is submitted the value of text is sent to the flow called getcurrentpricebySKU and it is used as input to the flow, the flow runs and then I use the Response action to send data back to fill the collection in the app in this case.
