Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I watched this video by Deepak Shrivastaka and was able to create a power app that displays the properties and the documents uploaded within a document set - on edit mode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PP4WVj7DNRc

However, it would appear that I need to add a another form for new mode that allows me to initiate the document set with a title field (text input) with a submit button - to kick off the workflow. I have seen other videos that directs you to use the 'Create new flow" --- Create from blank --using the PowerApps (V2) action --- Initiate variable (string, value = "Ask In Power App" option (which is not an option on our platform) - see both of these videos (part 1 & part 2): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jZ-Xdi4S3bY and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2lb9u_Obkg Again, the "Ask in Power App selection in the dynamic content" does not display - is not an option.

Looking for any assistance on creating a simple power app (with power automate) that allows someone to create a new document set --- email reminder kicks off with the URL to the document set --- that then reminds user to upload documents and then once they change a field from NO to YES (ready to review), it can kick off the approval workflow. Thank you.

Good Morning,

Based off your post its a little confusing at what you are trying to do but, from what I read I got:

You are trying to create a document set not a singular document so you are grouping documents by content type into one type of document in the library and I will work off that.

I would just create input variables for what you need with the normal Power Apps trigger make sure they are in the same solution(Power App and Power Automate Flow).

If you use input variables you can set the document library you wish to create it in.

Set Content Type = Document Set -> Set the title in a variable as well

Wait for the action above to complete then

Use the "Send an Email (V2)" action and send the documents URL (you may need a delay for this)

As for the approval (Yes No) field you have if its not a process longer than 30 days just wait you can create a secondary flow to catch that change occurring. Then once it says yes send the approval to the next user.

Follow up also to the "Ask in Power Apps"

Make sure you are using Power Apps (V2) trigger not the V1 I don't know any other reason that it wouldn't be showing unless you work in a restricted environment.

Hopefully this answers your question if it does please mark it as the answer if not please feel free to follow up.

Also if your goal is to just generate a file then send it through a review and approval process I know a better way to build this in a non-premium or premium environment but, it takes more setup.

Have a good one.
