Creating JSON via onselect then passing to flow

[jhritz89]

Hi again, I'm trying to do the following on a button click:

Get all global variables, then convert them to JSON format. Then, pass that to a Parse JSON step that I can use in a flow (that is in the app)

Right now, I have the following in the onselect option on the button:

var1, var2 etc.. are the global variables

SendTemplate is the flow name

Set(globalVars, {
variable1: var1,
variable2: var2,           
variable3: var3,
});
Set(jsonString, JSON(globalVars));
SendTemplate.Run()

However, every time I run this, it states arguments received 1, expected zero. I'm trying to use the Powerapps (v2) trigger.

All documentation I'm running across seems to be outdated, or looks drastically different from what I see. Is there something I'm missing?

Hi @jhritz89 

Can you remove the flow from the app and add it again.

Most likely when you edit the flow outside the app it caches the old flow in the app. 

So you don't have the most recent version in the app but a old one. 

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊

Hi @jhritz89,

Within the code snippet, we currently do not pass any parameters within the flow run. Would it be possible to make the following changes: (1) remove the comma after var3 and (2) pass the jsonString as a parameter to the flow:

Set(
    globalVars, 
    {
        variable1: var1,
        variable2: var2,           
        variable3: var3
    }
);
Set(jsonString, JSON(globalVars));
SendTemplate.Run(globalVars)

Note: When editing the flow outside of the Power Apps editor (Power Automate pane), you will have to refresh your flow.

If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution. ✔️

Adding (globalVars) resolved the issue, thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, I had just renamed the variables to generic names to protect information.
