Launch a specific screen of a second app

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello Guys,

 

I would like to link together two apps using Launch. I was wondering whether there is a way to open a specific screen on the second app (as opposed to just the main one).

 

Thanks,

Zara

    HI @Anonymous ,

    Yes, it is called deep linking.

    Here is a post I did a little while ago which details the process including sending the link on an email. You can generate the same link straight from the Launch function in PowerApps.

    After you have read this, happy to guide you through your particular circumstances.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Could you please share a bit more about your Launch formula?

    Do you want to navigate to specific screen in your Second app from your First App?

     

    Based on the needs that you mentioned, I think the parameter value within the Launch function could achieve your needs. Within your Launch function, you could specify a Parameter value (called "ScreenName"), then provide a proper value (target screen name in your second app) for it.

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

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

    Launch("https://apps.powerapps.com/play/31232661-a6b6-494d-b01f-029ec943420f", "ScreenName", "Screen1")

    Note: You should replace the "Screen1" with actual Screen Name (string value) in your second canvas app

     

    Then within your second canvas app, set the OnStart property of App to following:

    Set(ScreenNameValue, Param("ScreenName")); // Use Param function to receive parameter value passed from your first canvas app
    Switch(
     ScreenNameValue,
     "Screen1", Navigate(Screen1),
     "Screen2", Navigate(Screen2),
     "Screen3", Navigate(Screen3),
     ...
     ...
    )

     

    Please consider take a try with above solution, then check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    Thanks @v-xida-msft for the elaboration on this.

    I was waiting on @Anonymous 's response so I could tailor the code for the specific purpose required.
