Trying to create a flow that triggers from a button press, but when using the (ClickabuttoninPowerAppstosendanemail_1.Run) function the Sendanemail(v2) is not recognized and gives an error?

Hi @CU08060810-0,

I assume you have sent a Date and three text fileds in the Flow parameters ? I am a bit confused about the parameters in the email - they should be the three text fields in the trigger above - @triggerBody()['text'], @triggerBody()['text_1'] and @triggerBody()['text_2']
- how do you arrive a the formulas I can see in the email fields ?

@CU08060810-0 Could you please elaborate more on the parameter you're passing in the Send Email Action? Those property in To, Subject and Body don't look like the parameter you're passing to the flow trigger.

Hi @CU08060810-0, I have created a test flow to explain it to you by giving more context:
Here is the flow, which looks similar to your flow:

In Power Apps, when you write the code to trigger the flow, it will ask for the parameters as seen below:

So, we don't know which mapping is to be provided, as in the Power Automate flow, I have clearly mentioned email, subject and body, but in Canvas it asks me to provide text, text_1, text_2.

What I do is go to the flow and hover on the Power Apps (V2) action variables, and you'll see their logical names. See below:

Based on it in the Canvas App, do the mapping like in my case, I'll do like

1) Email - (logical name: text)

Value= senderemail@gmail.com

2) Subject- (logical name: text_2)

Value= Test Email

3) Body- (logical name: text_1)

Value: This is a testing email. How to trigger a flow from Power Apps.

So, my formula for trigger flow from Power Apps will be like this.

Then click on the button and run the flow. The flow will send an email notification to the sender email you have provided.

I hope that works for you!

If you have any further questions, let me know!
