Posted on by 2,666 Super User 2025 Season 1

I have a button in PowerApps, once i click on button timer will start and it will run a flow as well, and from flow i was passing some value to PowerApps, so once value comes from flow, i want to stop the timer in PowerApps.

 

Thanks,

Riyaz

    When the flow returns values, ie flow has finished. Set the variable to false. Then you can do an If statement within you Timer Control on the Auto Pause to pause the timer when the flow has finished executing. Then take that time and store as a variable if need be.

    You can set a boolean variable in the onselect property

    Set(varTimer, !varTimer);

    I think you can just set a variable for the Timer's start property, for eg varTimer and for the OnSelect property of the button try the following

    Set(varTimer, true);

    Your code including the flow.run().

    Set(varTimer, false).

     

    As code executes one after the other, Set(varTimer, false) will not execute until the flow run is completed and the response is received.

     

    If possible try including your code as well.

    Thanks.
