Hi all

I have managed to add a button in the Tasks area of the home page (Development Office Home Action (Preview) which runs a power automate job with an http trigger.

I would like to add a button to a Home page tile (Development Office Home Tile Dashboard) -the tile I have successfully managed to create via power apps.

How do I get the button on the power app to run a power automate job that has an http trigger, any ideas? The button in the power app only looks to like running power automate jobs that are triggered by a manual trigger(Instant cloud flow)

    Power App will not be able to trigger a “HTTP trigger" flow. There is specific trigger use for Power App (search trigger for powerapp connector, and you will see 2 of them).

    Or, you can just start in PowerApp, and use the interface there to create power automate flow directly from there.

    @Ashley Gelderblom- Hi Ashley- Alex gave you some great links. I thought I would add the link to Invoke a Flow in the documentation also.

    If you create a new flow and then search for the Sky Add In- trigger a flow from an Add In, it should populate your Http request received with this in the JSON schema. This is what pulls in the UserID and the recordID.

    {

    "type": "object",

    "properties": {

    "uit": {

    "type": "string"

    },

    "context": {

    "type": "object",

    "properties": {

    "recordId": {

    "type": "string"

    }

    }

    }

    }

    }

    Here's is what one of mine looks like. Although you may have to put your Application ID in and save it before it will let you put anything in there.
