Help! Flow not picking up changes for PowerApps submission to SharePoint :-(

[Flowhelppls]

Hi – I have a SharePoint form that I have customised in PowerApps (see below).

I have created a field where a user inputs comments for the next person to action. There’s also a combo box for a user to select multiple people to receive a notification along with the comments.

The recipient receives a message via a Teams Chat Flow Bot. I have successfully set up the PowerApp and the flow to pass through the message. However, I can’t get the right people notified.

So the steps are:

1. Open SharePoint form.
2. Update various fields.
3. Write a message in the “Action required” box for the next person/people to action.
4. Select the person/people to receive the notification via Teams Chat Flow Bot in the “Action required by” combo box.
5. Press the Notify action required button.

What happens is:

1. A Teams Chat does occur – with the Flow Bot correctly using the information in the “action required” box.
2. However, the flow is not using the person entered into the “Action required by” combo box that has just been updated. Instead, it is using the previous person entered into ““Action required by” combo box.
3. I believe this is because although the PowerApps submits the form, the flow isn’t using the new information submitted, but the previous information submitted and saved in SharePoint.
4. I found a way to ensure the “Action required” box information was correctly conveyed – but, I can’t get the right person notified.

Any help welcome!

This is my current command for the OnSelect button:

SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Refresh('Program details')&'DiaryReq-NotifyAction'.Run(

    Concat(ThisItem.'Action required by',Email&","),

    ThisItem.'Link to item',ActionRequiredDataValue,ThisItem.ID)

Hi @Flowhelppls ,

You are right.

So please try to use the “Action required by” combo box's value instead of using 'Thisitem...' in your formula.

SubmitForm(SharePointForm1);Refresh('Program details')&'DiaryReq-NotifyAction'.Run(

    Concat(<your combo box>.SelectedItems,<field name>,","),

    ThisItem.'Link to item',ActionRequiredDataValue,ThisItem.ID)
