I have created a powerapp which will be primarily used on mobile. I created a deep link workflow but if the app is already up and running - the link won't work due to the fact it won't run OnStart if the app is already started. Has anyone got any other ideas on how to deep link?Thank you!
Hello @honganhuynh1 ,
You can define which screen to display first with the "StartScreen" property of the app.
Basically, you get a parameter from your deeplink, and test this parameter to either start the app on the screen "Screen1" or "Screen4" from my example.
Hope this was helpful to you.
I currently have this inside of my StartScreen - it does what I want on desktop but when mobile since the app is typical running in background the link won't work
Switch( Param("Start"), "Screen1", Home, "Screen2", Manager, "Screen3", HomeNotAccepted, Blank(), Home)
I'm not so sure as I've never made an app for mobile, but let's see.
I've looked up the documentation on deep links with mobile devices.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/mobile/mobile-deep-links
It seems the deep link can be as follow:
ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/<appID>?tenantId=<tenantId>
And from another paragraph, I noticed they're using a "restartApp=true" parameter, although it's about model-driven app and not canvas. Can you still try with this parameter and see if it does anything?
