Hi Everyone,
This is my first
post on Power Apps (Canvas App) and could be very basic to most of the people
but it would helpful for the beginners like me.
- Login to Make.PowerApps.Com
- We can directly create an App
and Flows from the navigation as below but I would recommend to create a
Solution first and then create App and Flow in that.
- Create a solution with the
name as you wish and select the right publisher.
- Open the solution and click
on New from Top Navigation -->
App --> Canvas App --> Phone form factor(I have selected
for it Phone UI for this post, you can select as per your requirement)
- Save the App first with desired name. You can use Ctrl+S as a shortcut.
- You will get the new tab in
the browser as below.
- From Insert Menu add required text boxes, labels and a button on the Screen. Make sure you use good naming
convention as a best practice.
- Go back to the solution again and create a flow as below.
- Take trigger as PowerApps.
- Declare two variables and set
them to get the value from Power App. We have "Ask In Power
Apps" in the value for getting the parameters.
- Add a step to create a
contact in Dynamics 365 CE using Common Data Service Connector and set the
values. We cannot use Common Data Service Current Environment Connector as
there is an OOB issue with that. Check this for more information on that.
- Add "Respond to PowerApp
or flow" and select response which you would like to send. Here I
have selected Text and gave the response as below.
- Let's go back to our canvas app and click on Action on top --> Power Automate.
- It will show the Flows that
you have in the Organization and select the flow the one which you have
created.
- Call below OnSelect of the Create Contact button.
Set(flowResponse,
NewContactCreatingFromFlow.Run(TextFirstname.Text, TextLastname.Text));
Notify(flowResponse.message,NotificationType.Success, 3000);
The code is simple,
we are calling the flow with the parameters and storing the response in a
variable called flowResponse. After the execution of flow is completed, we are
notifying the user with the response that we got from Flow and for this we are
using Notify command.
And Let's run it..
Hope this helps.

Happy 365'ing
