Question

A canvas app lets warehouse staff submit an inventory count. When the user taps a button, the app must call a Power Automate cloud flow that validates the count against an external ERP system and returns a calculated variance value plus a status message. The app needs to display the returned variance and status on the same screen immediately after the flow finishes. Which approach correctly returns and consumes the flow's data in the canvas app?

Accepted Answer

In the flow, add a 'Respond to a PowerApps or flow' action that returns variance and status as outputs, then in the button OnSelect use Set(varResult, MyFlow.Run(InputCount)) and reference varResult.variance and varResult.status.

Answer

In the flow, write the variance and status to a Dataverse table, then in the button OnSelect call MyFlow.Run(InputCount) and immediately read the values with a LookUp against that table.

Answer

In the flow, use the 'Send an HTTP request' action to post results back, then in the app parse the response using ParseJSON(MyFlow.Run(InputCount).result).

Answer

In the flow, add a Compose action with the variance and status, then in the button OnSelect use MyFlow.Run(InputCount) and read MyFlow.Outputs.variance directly.
