Run flow in Power App once a person finishes a form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 12

I'm super new in PowerApps, forgive me lol

 

Basically I have a small form:
-Name (Text input)

-Type of Request (DropDown ; 3 choices)

-Comments (Text Input)

-Submit (Button that triggers a flow)

 

I understand that I need to type out the following in the Button's 'OnSelect' attribute:

test.run(txtAddarowintotable_Name,txtAddarowintotable_Type,txtAddarowintotable_Comm)

[Addarowintotable is there becasue I'm adding a row into an excel everytime someone submits the form]

 

The bolded section above throws me an error. I think it's because the dropdown choices aren't text but I can't seem to convert the values from the dropdown to text. The Items in the Dropdown are literally manually entered as text.

Youtube and Googling haven't helped lmao.

 

Please help... 

 

Thank you in advance!!!

    Dropdowns have a property called "Selected" that contains the chosen record (if any) fromthe Items property of that dropdown.

     

    For txtAddarowintotable_Type you probably need to reference txtAddarowintotable_Type.Selected.Value or txtAddarowintotable_Type.Selected.Result in the Update property of its associated datacard in the form. Use the Intellisense feature as you type and it will offer you possible choices for completing that reference correctly. Make sure your form and subsequent flow can handle the case of the selection being blank.

    Hope that helps,
