Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are having an wonderful time.

I need a help in creating one of my application in PowerApps. I would be explaining my application in brief and would post my requirement.

I have an onboarding application which is a tracker basically and everytime a form is submitted it sends out an email, screenshot is as follows

If you see the left hand side of the application you would be able to see buttons each buttons has a screen and form in it. Now the current screen which says the felids like employee details, Intro trainer details , process trainer details etc. is a form which when submitted sends an email to the field "NEW EMPLOYEE". with the application link on it as follows

So this is the first email sent to the New employee post a new entry is made and the form in the above screenshot is submitted.

Now when the new employee opens up this email and clicks on the link they are able to get the home page of the application and then they need to click on the button "My training" to access the next form.

MY REQUIREMENT- My requirement is can we have this app link sent to employee in such a way that when they open the email and click on the highlighted link (in the above screenshot) they should be directly redirected to the screen which is under "My Training" button? Instead of manually clicking on the button and redirected to the screen? FYI "My training" screen looks like the below screenshot

I hope this makes a sense. I am expecting a great help from the experts out there.

Thanks a ton in advance.

Regards

Priya

Hi @Priyasantra :

Do you want to use deeplink to navigate users to specific screens?

If so,you can add parameters to the end of the URL. For example:

http://<myAppUrl>?thescreen=1

?screenID=3 creates a parameter in Powerapps named "thescreen" and sets the value to 1.

You can access this Parameter in PowerApps by calling the Param() function, like this:

Param("thescreen")

So you could modify your apps "OnStart" function:

Set(startScreen,Param("thescreen")); If( startScreen=1, Navigate('My training screen') )

I think this link will help you a lot:

Launch Power App in Browser with Parameters

Lauch PowerApps Link to open specific screen

Embed link to specific screen

Hello Bo Feng,

Thankyou for the reply

I have checked this and applied the same as in the screenshot below

After setting this as the Onstart property I am changing mu URL to

https://apps.preview.powerapps.com/play/22fc7b26-536d-4280-a296-c926d295e3d9?tenantId=72f988bf-86f1-xxxaf-91ab-2d7cdxxxdb47?thescreen=1

but this does not helps while I send this as an email it does not take up the parameter.

This screen has an edit form as well. and the data source used as Sharepoint.

Is there something I am missing? Please help me to fix this. As the earlier post you have shared the posts does not have any information on adding the parameter to URL. Because all these post are based on flow and not Powerapps email function.
