Problem sending Email Address from PowerApps to Flow

Posted on by jcjcott

I've created a Flow that has a few "Start an Approval" and "Send an Email" steps, and connected that Flow to an app created in PowerApps. The app contains a data card where users can select a person from our Office 365 tenant, and my goal is to connect the selected person's email to a variable in Flow.

What's strange is that everything works as expected if I put the Run command in the OnSelect property of a button, but not if I put it in the OnSuccess property of my form. When doing the former, the emails are sent out as expected. When doing the latter, I get an "invalid argument" error pointing at the email variable.

The Run command looks like this: FlowName.Run(DataCardValue.Selected.Email); Navigate (SuccessScreen, ScreenTransition.None); ResetForm(FormName)

I've tried removing the ResetForm just in case it was removing the value before running the Flow, but that didn't help.

Update: A workaround that will do the trick for now, until I understand what I'm doing wrong.

If you create a Text Label, and set its value to DataCardValue.Selected.Email, you can then run the Flow using Label.Text instead of DataCardValue.Selected.Email and it works as expected. I am simply hiding the Text Label by putting it in an unused corner of the form and making the text white.
