Is it possible to send parameters from an embedded canvas app to a flow?

[sdowse]

Hello Everyone!

I have an embedded canvas app in a form in a model driven app. It contains buttons that launch flows.

I can easily use 'flowname'.Run(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Instruction) to send parameters from the column in the Instruction table to my flow.

What I would also like to do is for the user to use a date picker (DatePicker1) in the canvas app to choose a date. I then want to send that date to the flow as well.

I have tried this expression: 'flowname'.Run(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.Instruction,DatePicker1.SelectedDate) but I get an error in the canvas app as shown below:

Am I doing something wrong, or is what I'm trying to do not possible?

Thanks!

Hi @sdowse,

The error is saying the number of arguments is not correct, expected 1 but received 2.

This is an issue with the invalid parameter. 

When you add a new parameter into the FlowName.Run() function, you should add a new "Ask in PowerApps" into the Flow and save Flow.

Then on the PowerApps side, remove the associated Flow from Apps, then re-added it. this issue will be solved.
