Send link to SharePoint PowerApps form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 31

Hi everyone

I have customized a list form in SharePoint using PowerApps and it works fine.  When the form is saved it starts an approval flow and in the e-mail for this I want to include a link to the list item.  However, if I use the dynamic field in Flow called Link to item the link opens the default SharePoint form rather than the customized PowerApps form.

I have found a few posts online which say to try the following URL format but this also opens the default form (I've also tried it without the PA=1 with the same result):

https://tenant/sites/site/Lists/listname/dispform.aspx?ID=x&PA=1

Is it possible to link to a PowerApps SharePoint form or is this just something that can't currently be done?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi @gjayne84,

    Do you want to include a Custom form Item Link within your approval email?

    How do you send an approval email? Using a MS Flow?

    How do you fire the flow within your app?

    I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned. If you want to include Custom form Item Link within your approval email, you must make sure you have customized a form for your SP list using PowerApps.

    In addition, you could not select the "Link to item" Dynamic content as the link to your custom form within your flow. On your side, you should pass the 'Link to item' value from your app to your flow.

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

    Flow's configuration as below:

     

    App’s configuration as below:

    Within the app, set the OnSuccess property of the SharePointForm1 to following:

    '20190104_case9'.Run(SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.'Link to item');
    ResetForm(SharePointForm1);
    RequestHide()

    On your side, you should type:

     

    'YourFlowName'.Run(SharePointForm1.LastSubmit.'Link to item');
    ResetForm(SharePointForm1);
    RequestHide()

    The Custom form Item Link format as below:

    https://xxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/PowerApps/_layouts/15/listform.aspx?PageType=4&ListId=886d7840-abcc-4cb9-a520-2552cf5a6abe&ID=5&ContentTypeID=0x010010D635F765D7B443A8BBB6507AE1C518

     

    Best regards,

    Kris

    Hello

     

    the link to item is the display form link, is there way to get the editform link via flow and send to users?

     

    I know that we can use editform.aspx?ID=xxx, but it will ceate issue if the user is not login before clicking on the link, 

     

    and what exactly does &pa=1 do?

     

    thanks
