Custom Edit/New form not running power automate flow

[ChrisH1]

Hello. I have a list... i went List Settings->Forms settings->modify form in powerapps.

i then created a customized form. I have a button. and when i press it. its supposed to call powerautomate and powerautomate will return some HTML text.

I have this setup on a standalone app and it works. It also works when i am just testing within powerapps itself with the play button.... it thinks for like 10 seconds and then returns the data.

However I try going to my sharepoint list and actually using my created form... clicking edit on a list item and then clicking the button I created it shows my popup message instantly as if the powerautomate call completed or didn't get processed at all.

if i go to powerautomate it does not have any record of the flow being called at all either.

the account i am using is the same one that created the powerapp (if that even has an owner since its attached to sharepoint) and the owner of the flow. I have tried re-adding the flow multiple times etc etc.

Here is my code:

Set(AppendComments,CouncilCRA_AppendedComments.Run(121,"Approval_x005f_x0020_x005f_Comments","Council Reports","https://XXXXXXXX.sharepoint.com/sites/Council-DEV/cra"));

Set(varAlertMessageText,"CouncilCRA_AppendedComments called");

Set(varOpenAlertBox,true);

Hi @ChrisH1 

Please do the following. When you get to the step that says clear the data in Monitor BEFORE you click the button please do 🙂

You should be able to see then if you get any errors, or if the button even attempts

Also, for the flow. Was this flow and the app part of a Solution? So that they are truly connected after install?

Anyhoo please do this

Step 1. Close your App (stop it running)

Step 2. Click the Stethoscope in the Top Right

Step 3. On the bottom click Open Monitor

Step 4. Once Monitor is running go back and run your app

Step 5. Cause your issue to happen

Step 6. Close the app

Step 7. Go to the Monitor and Filter (top right) based on Error, or key word. Go to the line or lines that match this

Step 8. Look at the Response Tab and you will have to expand the Body > and the Header >. Then look at the body to see more details on the error
Do this for each line you find

Step 9. On each line, also check the Code being executed on Tab 2

If I have helped you, I would really appreciate if you please Mark my answer as Resolved/Answered, and give it a thumbs up, so it can help others

Cheers

So to be clear... this is a sharepoint list form... so i selected list settings.. customize in powerapps. I dont know of any other way to access editing of this app as it doesn't appear on make.powerapps.com

The only time I get monitor option is when i am editing the form in powerapps... So while I am Editing the form if i enable monitor and I click play it works as i mentioned above already. It does not work work when i publish to sharepoint though and attempt to use it for real. The monitor option doesn't seem to monitor actions from the published version so it doesn't seem helpful to me.

Does that make sense?
