Trigger a Flow from button

[Cym]

Hi 

I have a fairly complicated PowerApp that submits data to various SP lists as the user moves through the app. At the end of the app, the user selects up to people from  SP person columns that need to approve the request. I want to have a button that triggers a flow to send approval requests (with the details of the request) to each of the people selected. I cannot figure out what i am supposed to put in the Onselect for the PowerAppsbutton.Run(                     

I can't use the flow trigger of SP list changed/modified as there are modifications happening to the list as it is constantly updated & there doesn't seem to be anyway of specifying that the flow should only trigger when particular fields are modified 😞

Can anyone help?

The PowerApp:

Here is the flow that i've started:

Here is the SP List:

try making a collection of the email addresses from the selected people and send the collection to flow using steps like this:

You will then need to parse the json using the flow parse json action.

Hi @Cym ,

Make sure that you are reading values from PowerApp in your flow. Go to flow and select the step where you want to read this connect and say "ask from powerApp".

Hi @Cym ,

Remove the flow in PowerApp and add it back that should solve your issue.
