Solution

  • Way of passing image file to Power automate flow as input from Power Apps is depend on which trigger you are using in your flow - PowerApps or PowerApps (V2).

    If you are using PowerApps trigger:

    You have to pass the image file in binary data format using JSON() function and then convert it again in your Power Automate flow.

    Example:

    FlowName.Run(JSON(UploadedImage1.Image,JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData));

    If you are using PowerApps (V2) trigger:

    You have to pass the image file in object format with file name and content.

    For example:

    FlowName.Run(
    {
        contentBytes: UploadedImage1.Image,
        name: Text(Now(), "yyMMddhhmmss")
    }
);
