Introduction
JSON is one Power Apps function that a lot of makers don't use or know about. Especially the ones, like me, who don't use Power Automate flows that much. But if you do, then you might have faced a situation in which you had to change the parameters to your flow. For the complete list of Power App functions, click here.
Here is an example:
Set(
myUser,
{
FirstName: ""John"",
LastName: ""Doe"",
Email: ""jdoe@contoso.com""
}
);
MyFlow.Run(
myUser.FirstName,
myUser.LastName,
myUser.Email
)Now, let's say, you delete the last name parameter but then add it back. This changes the sequence of parameters which will need a change in your code to make sure the values get passed correctly.
The tip - JSON
Instead, just use the JSON function in the following manner to save the need for changing your code:
With(
{
myUserJSON: JSON(myUser)
},
MyFlow.Run(myUserJSON)
