The last action should be a HTTP response action or a PowerApps Response action with a payload.

Note: This functionality is only supported with HTTP response action, because of complex properties.

Message: return only a message that the work is done (available since version 2025.03.24), for example:

{ 
  "message": "All done" 
}

or return an error message:

{ 
  "message": "This is not allowed",
  "messagetype": "error"
}

Document: return a document, so it will be downloaded automatically by the user, for example:

{ 
  "contenttype": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document", 
  "content": "...base64 string of the docx file...." 
}

If returning a zip file, use as contenttype “application/zip”.
If returning an Excel file, use as contenttype “application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet”.

Navigation: return info to navigate to (available since version 2025.03.24), for example:

{
  "navigateTo": {
    "input": {
      "pageType": "entityrecord",
      "entityName": "ctse_document",
      "entityId": "3eac5532-19c1-ea11-a812-000d3a4684b2"
    },

Open url: opens an url in another tab in the webbrowser (available since version 2025.08.29), for example a Sharepoint url:

{
  "openUrl": {
    "url": "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/CRM/_layouts/15/Doc.aspx?sourcedoc=%7Bfeda8c48-2b75-486e-ac67-955115650e91%7D",
    "app": true
  }	  
}

With the (optional) property “app” (true or false) you can force to open it in an Office app like Word instead of the webbrowser.
