"Success" Message after a flow run

[RavChop]

Hi, 

I'm fairly new to PowerApps and I find myself struggling a little. 

I have a Button with the action OnSelect that triggers a flow Run to check-in something to a table - I was wondering if it would be possible to add a success message to let the user know that something has been "Checked-In Successfully" 

I've had a look at the Notify function in Power Apps but I don't know how I would be able to implement that alongside the flow.Run() function. Any ideas?

Thanks @logixcrm, but it doesn't work for me.

The error in Power Apps:

I found you have to set the variable at the beginning as I did here:

Set(myOutputDesignation, 'Music-PartDesignationsByTune-POWERAPPS'.Run(Band_1.Selected.Value,ListType_1.Selected.Value,'Concert Name_1'.Text,EmailRecipients_1.SelectedItems,LocationText_1.Text,EmailComments_1.Text));Set(varResetDesignation,false);If(myOutputDesignation.designationlistsuccess="true",Notify("The Horn Part Designation List was successfully compiled and emailed to selected recipients: " & lblEmailRecipients_1.Text,NotificationType.Success),Notify("Flow failed to run",NotificationType.Error))

So the "designationlistsuccess" must be defined in the respond to flow action as you've done, but perhaps its because you're duplicating the left box text as the same and Powerapps/Flow is getting confused. Try on the left:

1. On the left respond to powerapps: ThisSuccess with true,
2. On the right respond to powerapps: ThisFailure with true (bear in mind you can use any text you want, it doesn't have to say true or false since it's just text, not real boolean.

Or just use one respond to powerapps:

Then you'd need to say: if(variablename.ThisSuccess="true", Notify("successtext"),(Notify("failtext")) 

Hope this helps. I was stuck on this too until that was made abundantly clear to me. 😀

Thanks, but I am really confused.

I'm a beginner in PA and I don't understand where to put the variable you mentioned, also you declare others variable but for what purpose?

Sorry, I saw many tutorials, but I can't make it work 😞

EDIT: I manage to make it work! It was a combination of bad syntax and sort of a glitch from Power Apps/Power Automate.

The glitch was that Power Apps didn't want to display my response action by adding a "." after my .Run. 

I recreated the connection to the Power Automate flow a few times, and it showed up magically, lol.

About the syntax, this one worked for me:

Set(VarStatus, Duplicatetest.Run(DataCardValue20).ThisSuccess); If(VarStatus = "true", Notify( "Flow has run successfully", NotificationType.Success, 2000 ), Notify( "Flow run has failed", NotificationType.Error, 5000 ));

Thanks all of you for your valuable help here.

Cool I'm glad you got it to work!!

Ya sorry, I added my parameters just as an example, but you figured it out and used your own. 

I feel your pain as I've had those issues ever since using this tech.

The other day even, one of my flows decided to break. It was worki g fine then stopped working. 

A flow parameter was not seen as required in the powerapps run() expression. I had to delete stuff and retry over and over then it started to work.

From what I see, the browser is a mega large problem. If you don't clear your cache almost every 5 minutes it may decide not to work.

If you set up flow parameters it also seems you have to wait 'X' Microsoft minutes until it decides to accept the new parameters.

Sorry, crap like this in 2023 is unacceptable.

Good for you getting it going though.

Hi @Anonymous  I am not sure if you noticed but you have spelt success incorrectly in your Flow, is has been spelt as sucess, however, in your expression/formula you have spelt success correctly. They must match.

I suggest you update the expression and not the Flow. if you update the Flow, you will need to remove and read the expression in order for the updates to be accepted. If you simply change the expression to the incorrectly spelt version, i.e., FlowName().sucess, your Flow should work.

I am following your logic above, but getting an error.  My PowerApps response action is like yours, setting succeed  to true,

but PowerApps returns an error:

Thanks! I had the exact same issue, where the flow was triggered twice each time it was called in PowerApps. I followed your pattern of just wrapping the run statement within the If statement for notification, and it works fine now. As you stated, logically this does not make sense, but this is how it appears to work. I tested this by removing the notification statement initially and in that case, the run only triggered once. It appears everywhere that run statement is listed, it produces another run.

Hello all!

I am trying to implement this too but unfortunately the message keeps saying failed while the flow succeeded.
I configured a run after in the flow itself and this is my code in the power app:

If(

    SaveFile2.Run(ModelDrivenFormIntegration.Item.CvKandidaat, AddMediaButton1_1.FileName,{contentBytes: AddMediaButton1_1.Media,

    name:AddMediaButton1_1.FileName}).success = "true",

    Notify(

        "Flow has run successfully.",

        NotificationType.Success,

        2000

    ),

    Notify(

        "Flow run has failed.",

        NotificationType.Error,

        5000

    )

);

Reset(AddMediaButton1_1);
