Set Variable when Deep Linking

Hi,

I have a deep link that gets sent via Email (based on a Onselect of a button)-

https://apps.powerapps.com/URL&recordID= & gblRecordID

which gblRecordID is a variable and brings the person who clicks the link in the email to the record.

Can I set a variable in the Link? Or should I set it on the OnSelect button ?

I want to set my variable -

Set(varFormMode,"edit")

so I can control the FormMode View and Edits.

Please help!

For your deep linking, I assume you already have code in the app start event to enable this? Something like:

If(Not(IsBlank(Param("recordID")))....

If so, just add the extra line to set the variable there (so set the variable, and then navigate to the target page). If needed, add another value to the url so you can retrieve it via the Params function.

I see you have the deep linking logic in the start screen. You could add a similar if statement to the app start event to set the variable. (so the startscreen will set the initial screen the user sees, while the app start will set the variables that are needed.)
