I've successfully created an environment variable in Power Automate with the data type set to "Azure Key Vault" to access my key vault. However, when I'm creating a flow, this environment variable isn't appearing in the list of available variables.
When building my flow, I expected to be able to select this environment variable from the dynamic content panel, similar to how other environment variables work. I was anticipating being able to reference my Key Vault secrets through this environment variable within my flow actions. However, when I'm in the flow designer and try to add dynamic content, my Azure Key Vault environment variable doesn't appear in the list of available variables, preventing me from accessing the secrets stored in the vault.
Has anyone encountered this issue before?
Is there a specific step I'm missing to make Azure Key Vault environment variables visible within flows?
Any guidance would be appreciated!

Reset to default 0Yep, and sorry to point you straight to the documentation but getting the value for a secret in PowerAutomate is not as simple as pulling a basic text environment variable.
https://learn.microsoft/en-us/power-apps/maker/data-platform/environmentvariables-azure-key-vault-secrets#create-a-power-automate-flow-to-test-the-environment-variable-secret
As it states, you need to use the Perform an unbound action operation and select the action named RetrieveEnvironmentVariableSecretValue from the dropdown list provided.
