Home page tile with button that runs a PA with an http trigger

Ashley Gelderblom

Hi all

I have managed to add a button in the Tasks area of the home page (Development Office Home Action (Preview) which runs a power automate job with an http trigger.

I would like to add a button to a Home page tile (Development Office Home Tile Dashboard) -the tile I have successfully managed to create via power apps.

How do I get the button on the power app to run a power automate job that has an http trigger, any ideas? The button in the power app only looks to like running power automate jobs that are triggered by a manual trigger(Instant cloud flow)

Power App will not be able to trigger a “HTTP trigger" flow. There is specific trigger use for Power App (search trigger for powerapp connector, and you will see 2 of them).

Or, you can just start in PowerApp, and use the interface there to create power automate flow directly from there.

Here's 2 post to look into this:

@Ashley Gelderblom- Hi Ashley- Alex gave you some great links. I thought I would add the link to Invoke a Flow in the documentation also.

If you create a new flow and then search for the Sky Add In- trigger a flow from an Add In, it should populate your Http request received with this in the JSON schema. This is what pulls in the UserID and the recordID.

{

"type": "object",

"properties": {

"uit": {

"type": "string"

},

"context": {

"type": "object",

"properties": {

"recordId": {

"type": "string"

}

}

}

}

}

Here's is what one of mine looks like. Although you may have to put your Application ID in and save it before it will let you put anything in there.
