Setting a Variable in Power Automate from power Apps

[Tim88]

Q: How would filename variable to be used in PowerAutomate from a powerapps variable. 

When i submit the form in powerapps, i want to capture the new list item ID, and then use that as a variable in power automate. Since my power automate is triggered by an action within the app, setting the variable will help me further build the flow logic later on if i can set the list item ID and then use to pull the data once the app saves it.

Hi @Tim88 ,

The LastSubmit property of a form will return a value from that form. Here is a good video from Shane Young @Shanescows on the subject.

Hi @Tim88 

You can add Initialize variable action in the flow, set value: Ask in PowerApps, then you will be able to pass the value from PowerApps to Variable in flow.

If you want to pass the Items ID you just submitted, you can use FormName.LastSubmit.ID to get the ID, and put the Flow Run code to the OnSuccess property of Form, just like:'FlowName'.Run(FormName.LastSubmit.ID)
