Power Automate & Power App Email Issue

[davidessex]

Hi,

I have created the following power automate as a test to use in a future power app (using power automate to send the email instead of the office365 connector in powerapp as I want it formatted in HTML). The power automate gets two details - Title and Modified by from the power app and then sends an email. 

The flow does not come up with any errors. However when i try to connect to the button OnSelect, I get an error message (test is the name of the flow)

Error message:

I am not sure why it's not working - any help appreciated. Thanks

Hi @davidessex 

the message is clear 

Flow is expecting text inputs to be passed from PowerApps when you're invoking it. and in our case we're passing  whole Record to Flow instead field value.

FlowName.Run(ModifedBy_Value.Email,Title_Value)

Confirm that you're passing only text values when you're invoking the flows

Thanks

Hi

Sorry If I sound a bit thick but I have only being using Powers/Automate since end of April and trying to get my head around everything.

I typed in the OnSelect command as Test.Run(ModifedBy_Value.Email,Title_Value)

It still comes up with a red cross and has the same error message.

I changed it to Test.Run(ModifiedBy_Value.Email,Title_Value) as Modified was spelt wrong on your one and that still comes up with the same error

Hi @davidessex 

can you please check what values are coming after you type ModifiedBy_Value. and after dot you see wat list comes out and try see if email is there in the list.

Also if you try run

Test.Run("John@contoso.com","test") hope it's working

Thanks

Hi

I did a test run as you said and I didnt get an email - flow failed - test appeared in the modified box and the email address in title. I needed to move them round so the email was first. I typed in Test.Run(ThisItem.Title,ThisItem.'Modified By'.Email) and this worked and I got my email.

Thanks for your assistance.
