Hello,
I have a request for an app that would allow a user to scan a QR code, then automatically input the result into a third party mobile site search bar. I'm not sure if this is possible but wanted to check while I look at other options. I've already tried the Launch feature to no avail. I'm wondering if PowerAutomate would be needed for anything or if this is even possible. Maybe a custom connector would be required?
Thank you
@DTreg1
You can use the Launch feature to do this.
Here's the URL to search the words "PowerApps Barcode Scanner"
https://www.google.com/search?q=powerapps+barcode+scanner
Replace the green coloured text with the words or barcode you want to search. The result will appear in a new page.

Hi @mdevaney.,
Unfortunately, That didn't work for the third party website that i'm trying to reach. It's not Google which yes, it's easy to launch with a search parameter there but the site i'm trying to reach did not accept this as an option.
Thank you for the suggestion though.
@DTreg1 If the 3rd party website does not allow URL parameters to search you must use an HTTP Flow or Power Automate UI Flows. I suggest you go to that forum for the best opportunity at getting an answer.
