Validate Stored Procedure Success in Powerapps - sql-server

Question

I am fairly new to powerapps, but it sounds like there is a major limitation on being able to return values for a SQL Server stored procedure.
I have an app that when you push a button pulls data from various controls on screen and submits it to a stored procedure. This is done by invoking a flow. The code is basically :
EditPuddles.Run(ActionDrop.Selected.Value, PuddlesText.Text,
ClassicDrop.Selected.Value, ServiceRates.Text, User().FullName)
The code works and does what it is supposed to. However, what I need now more than anything is it to tell me when it fails or succeeds.
Ideally I would have it return a values that I could use to determine if I should display a success or failure message. I get that I cannot return a data set, but it must at least be able to tell if there is an error.

Answer 1

I'm also new to PowerApps and Power Automate but I figured out a way to show results on success and an error message on failure, after a flow is executed.
PowerApps
For your example the code for the property "OnSelect" of the button should be:
UpdateContext({ PuddlesResult: EditPuddles.Run("a", "b", "c") });
If(
Not IsBlank(PuddlesResult.errormessage),
// on failure:
Notify(PuddlesResult.errormessage, NotificationType.Error, 5000),
// on success: (use PuddlesResult.ResultSets.Table1)
Notify("All good", NotificationType.Information, 5000)
)
Power Automate
Your flow in Power Automate should look like this:
Capture the error message
On error the action "Execute stored procedure (V2)" returns output:
To return the message in the output update the action "Respond to a PowerApp or flow":
Text: ErrorMessage
Expression: outputs('Execute_stored_procedure_(V2)')?['body']?['message']
Return the error message only on failure/timeouts
Select "Configure run after" on the action "Respond to PowerApp or flow":
And set it to only run this action on failure and time outs:
For returning normal results you can use action "Response" and set the "Configure run after" settings to "Is successful".
I hope this helps you and others as it took me a long time too to figure this out. But it will allow you to handle succes and failure appropriately in your PowerApp.
