[@cmarkbernal]

TRUTH!! 😁

[@ankitgarg6976]

Great video thanks, plus I found 1 more interesting thing that - if you're using the PowerApps trigger, it will run in user context who is running flow . If you're using the PowerApps V2 trigger, then you have the option to choose whether to use the connections credentials or to run as the user who invoked the flow. This is configured in the flow details page. This I tried in use case - add data to SP list using canvas app with user impersonation.

[@RezaDorrani]

Awesome find Ankit! I wish the documentation was more elaborative. Now the question for me is "How many folks would like a video on this 😉" I will post a poll on this in the Community Tab. If I make the video, I will be showcasing your name. Let me know if that is ok?

Hey Reza, thank you for great video. Have you experienced problem with respond to PowerApps action? According to my experience only text output params work. If I place there any other type it is a lottery if this will work or not (PowerApps then does not recognize any output params - seems like bug, but can you please confirm /ask your contact in MS?)

[@RezaDorrani]

That's true - only text works. There are many other issues which I hope will be resolved soon. One thing I am waiting for is the ability to return an array to power apps from flow (as a standard connector). I actually did a hack to achieve it but do not want to share it (in a video) because it's not a recommended approach :)

Hi Reza, Thank you for providing such informative videos. I have a query which is not related but thought if you could help. If we are getting 3-4 tables from dataverse list rows in a flow, how can we configure their values in one action item without the reoccurrence of 'Apply to each' ? I got 4 times reoccurrences of apply to each in this case.

[@RezaDorrani]

You would need to use expressions in Power Automate to do so.
