Microsoft Outlook has long allowed you to process incoming and outgoing emails using rules. You will no doubt be familiar with them. They allow you to move emails to different subfolders, set categories, auto-cc additional people, or automatically delete emails. I have recently stopped using Outlook rules and have started using Power Automate instead. Although working with emails directly is limited in Power Automate, the platform allows for expansion beyond traditional rule sets by integrating with other Office applications and third-party services.

PowerApps is a low-code platform from Microsoft that enables businesses and individuals to quickly build custom applications for web and mobile, connecting to various data sources without extensive coding experience. I'm new to PowerApps and initially relied on guides on the internet to build my first app. The app was simple: collect user input and send it to Power Automate for processing. However, online guides can sometimes be outdated, and I ran into trouble with a deprecated Power Automate trigger called 'Ask in PowerApps.' The recommended solution is to use the newer PowerApps V2 trigger; this guide will show you how.
