Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am calling one power apps form from another power apps form on the button click. for that, I am using the below formula.

https://web.powerapps.com/apps/{appId}?{query}&Source=SourceURL

So when the new form opens I am saving the data in the list and after saving it, I need to redirect to the same page where I clicked to open this page, I have tried Source Query string but it's not redirecting to the source URL.

It is fine to close that tab also. any solution to close the current tab from powerapps?

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in Advance.

Hi @Anonymous - unfortunately, in Power Apps you can't redirect with "Source=SourceURL" like in SharePoint. I can think of following 2 options:
1) Either open the 2nd app using Launch function in a new tab and close the tab when clicked on a button like Save/Submit (references: Launch & Exit) or
2) Use a technic called deep linking to pass parameters in URLs (query string) (references: Deep Linking in Power Apps)

Hi @UdayAdhikari ,
I have tried the Exit() method, but it's not closing the tab, it's taking me to the "Home.dynamics.com". I need to close the tab or else need to redirect to the old URL? any solution for that?

@Anonymous - sorry for the confusion on my part. Unfortunately, there is not a direct way to close tab from Power Apps at the moment but you can use Launch function to implement your scenario.
Steps:
In 1st app on button click add

Launch("https://apps.powerapps.com/play/Your1stAppGUID?tenantId=YOURTENANTGUID", {screenaName: "EditScreen", itemId: 1}, LaunchTarget.Replace)

Note: Replace "EditScreen" with your 2nd app screen/page that you want to open; 1 with list item id that you are trying to update; also rename the parameter names if you so desire
In 2nd app > OnStart add code to extract values from parameters as described in Deep Linking in Power Apps and navigate to the screen where you have save button
In 2nd app > Save button after you Save code add below code

Launch("https://apps.powerapps.com/play/Your2ndAppGUID?tenantId=YOURTENANTGUID", {screenaName: "DashboardScreen"}, LaunchTarget.Replace)

Note: Replace app id, tenant id, screen name, add new parameter/s as needed
In 1st app > OnStart add code to extract values from parameters as described in Deep Linking in Power Apps and navigate to the screen where you first started with
Note: The Replace parameter in Launch function causes the app to open in the same tab.
