Hi Guys,

 

New on here and pretty new to PowerApps also,

 

I have built an audit app with a screen full of questions. If you score 2 or less on any question, the app navigates to a new 'comments screen' where the user adds comments as to why the score is 2 or less. It also has an 'Assign Owner' text input box and a text input box to enter the email address of the owner.
I want the person who's email address gets filled out to get an email notification, advising they have been assigned a task to complete. I want the link in the email to take them to the correct screen in the App which shows the comments for that question.
At the minute I can only figure out how to send an email with the link to the App itself, not the specific screen.

Help please?

 

Thanks.

    Hi @JD2301,

    Do you add a comment screen for each question within your app?

    How do you navigate to the comment screen from a failed audit question within your app? Could you please share more details about the Navigate formula?

    The user @ahockaday  and @SahanW have faced similar issue with you, please check the response within the following thread:

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Discussion/how-to-Link-directly-to-the-item-on-the-Detail-Screen-based-on/td-p/117669

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Creating-Apps/Pass-Parameters-from-HTTP-URL-to-a-Powerapp-Gallary/td-p/127401

    If you want the link in the email to take them to the corresct screen in your app, you could consider set URL parameters (e.g.  https://web.powerapps.com/apps/76897698-xxxx-b2de-xxxx-xxxx74f114f2?Question="Q1") within the URL link that you provided within the email.

    Within your app, receive the Parameter values (Question) using Param() function. Then based on the received parameter value, navigate to corresponding comment screen.

    I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

    Set the OnSelect property of the "Continue" button to following:

    Office365.SendEmail(
     TextInput4_16.Text,
     "Assigned Task To Be Coplated",
     "Please follow the link to view the failed audit question : https://web.powerapps.com/apps/3cffb281-c8bd-42c6-8c55-bfd6973d3e55?Question=Q1"
    )

    Note: The '3cffb281-c8bd-42c6-8c55-bfd6973d3e55' represents your App ID.

    Set the OnStart property of the first screen of your app to following:

    Set(CurrentQuestion, Param("Question"));
    If(
     CurrentQuestion = "Q1",
     Navigate('MOJ PersonnelCommQ1', ScreenTransition.Fade),
     CurrentQuestion = "Q2",
     Navigate('MOJ PersonnelCommQ2', ScreenTransition.Fade),
      CurrentQuestion = "Q3",
     Navigate('MOJ PersonnelCommQ3', ScreenTransition.Fade),
     ...
    )

    More details about the Param function, please check the following article:

    Best regards,

    Hi Kris,

     

    Thank you for the reply, that has worked. When I click the email link it takes me to the correct page in the app. 
    However I still have a problem with this. The purpose of the email link was so I could send a notification to someone saying they have been assigned a task to complete due to a failed audit question.
    When they click the link, it opens on the page displaying the comments about the failed audit task.
    However when I click the link, it opens on the correct page but there is no text displaying in the text boxes. 
    I have checked that I haven't set anyting to get reset once the questions are submitted so can't figure out why the comments arent showing when I click the link!!

    Do you have any solutiuons / advice to this?

     

    Thank you.
