Passing parameter into PowerApps Desktop Client

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by
Hi,
 
I've got a number of workstations around a warehouse that have a unique workstation ID, set via COMPUTERNAME environment variable.
 
I use a startup shortcut on each Windows workstation that runs a shortcut as follows;
 
ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/<<applicationID>>?packStation=%COMPUTERNAME%
 
The app when launched through the desktop client doesn't consistently pass the parameter into the app.  If I use the URL to access the app and pass the parameter it works perfectly.
 
Any help on getting the desktop client to work perfectly would be appreciated
 
Thanks
Steve
