deep linking issue

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 353

Hello all,

 

I am using deep linking, when i click the link i generate from flow that has my param. I am navigated to the correct screen so i got all the "App OnStart" code working. In the OnStart, i set the record to a variable by doing a lookup to the sql table equaling the param. So i have a form on the screen the user is navigated too and some fields are missing values and some are not. Why is this  ? i need those fields values. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

    Hi @mmattar ,

    Could you please show more details about the formula you typed within the OnStart property of App?

    Could you please share a bit more about the Parameter value you passed to your canvas app from the deep link?

     

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think it is not necessary to store the retrieve record value into a variable, you just need to store the parameter value into a variable. I assume that you specify the PrimaryColumn value as parameter value within the deep link, so your embedded deep link would look like this:

    https://apps.powerapps.com/play/18d2e0dd-50e9-43e0-aeac-3feb321972c3?tenantId=xxxxxxxx-f6a5-41a2-xxxx-9785a9d6c706&PrimaryColumn=SpecificPrimaryColumnValue

     

    Then within the OnStart property of App, please type the following formula:

    Set(PrimaryColumnValue, Param("PrimaryColumn"));
    Navigate(TargetScreen)

    Within the Target screen, bind the Edit form to your SQL Table ('[dbo].[YourSQLTable]'), then set the Item property of the Edit form to following:

    LookUp('[dbo].[SQLTable]', PrimaryColumn = PrimaryColumnValue)

     

    Please check and see if my response within the following thread would help in your scenario:
