Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

I want to create a form where employees can submit a photo and description to share. The version of Microsoft Forms that I have does not allow others to attach an image.

So I thought I could do something similar with Microsoft Power Apps. But I am completely lost, because I am not beginning with a data source. Ideally, I'd just get sent an email when someone submits something, but I could link it to a SharePoint Documents list... I think.

I'm just a little lost and the tutorials I've been watching all begin with a data source. Can I not use Power Apps for this type of application? Or do I just need a little more patience and practice?

You can do it without, though honestly making a splist to store the data is very nice in the long run because you can always go back and check historical data for trend identification etc.

Camera Load, this code loads the camera control. example number is just a variable i set so i can collect multiple of the images for any submission and be able to let my users cycle through those in a gallery and delete ones they do not want to submit.

UpdateContext({camerashow:true, examplenumber:1})

Take Photo, this code is in the onselect of my camera control

Collect(
 SupportImage,
 {
 Name: "Example"&examplenumber&".jpg",
 ContentBytes: MyCamera.Photo,
 '@odata.type': ""
 }); UpdateContext({examplenumber:examplenumber+1});

Collect(LocalImage, MyCamera.Photo)

E-Mail button code below, emailbody.Html text is a textbox in my app where i set the body of the email with Html so I can format as I want.

Office365.SendEmail("Tech.ServicesBASE@yourcompanyhere.com", emailbody.HtmlText, {Cc:"Leads@yourcompanyhere.com",Attachments:SupportImage, Importance:"High",IsHtml:true})
