send images to server

[langsem]

Hi i have an power app that takes some images and tags them with a string. I wonder if its possible to send those with a Api trough a button click ?

Hey@langsem

This may be of interest - https://powerapps.microsoft.com/es-es/blog/register-and-use-custom-apis-in-powerapps/

The API you are sending data to is going to govern how you do this... you can always add a button to your PowerApp which invokes a Flow, you can then use the HTTP Connector to submit data as needed to an API endpoint.

I have tried to make a flow and Connected it to my button in Power apps. With this code onSelect UploadaphototoSharePointfromPowerApps.Run(SONR.Text; FORSIKRING.Text; Pics)

It throws and error saying it gives 3 arguments but was just expecting one. How can i increase amount of arguments ?

will this work if i have 5 images thats stored in a Collection and 2 strings thats stored in textfields ? ? 

[CFernandes]

@langsem Technically, yes! It should work.

To simplify things, Create three variable in Power Automate,  

• Variable 1 - Holds the Collection(JSON)
• Variable 2- Holds Text Field A
• Variable 3 - Holds Text Field B.

Using the Flow.RUN function send all the three variable to Power Automate. Once you have those in Power Automate, send it any data-source of your choice.

Hm i see. My api expects this body 
{
  "item": {
    "attrs": {
      "attr": [
        {
          "name": "string",
          "value": "string"
        }
      ]
    },
    "resrs": {
      "res": [
        {
          "filename": "string",
          "base64": "string"
        }
      ]
    },
    "acl": {
      "name": "string"
    },
    "entityName": "string"
  }
}


Not entirely sure how i shall pass my values into the string Fields. but on the Power apps when i take a image it stores a name of the image and the image itself i assume i have to pass the name of the image into one of the Fields, convert the image into a base64 then add the two textfields into the body aswell
