Creating and Copying Hyperlinks in Power Apps

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Matteo4

Hey there,

I'm currently working on a Content Manager Power App. The app's content consists solely of hyperlinks, which users need to copy via a button so they can paste them into an email. The content is stored in a SharePoint list with two columns: Title and Link.

The problem I have is that I can't find a solution to create and copy the hyperlink directly from the Power App. Currently, I'm only able to copy the link, and users have to manually create the hyperlink in their emails.

Is there a solution to create and copy a hyperlink directly?

Best regards

Matteo

hey @Matteo4

you could try this for creating the link:

"<a href='" & ThisItem.Link & "'>" & ThisItem.Title & "</a>"

if that works u need most likely a text input rather than a text label

you could use powerautomate to send the link to the user already formatted and ready to share for example.

Let me know if my answer helped solving your issue.

If it did please accept as solution and give it a thumbs up so we can help others in the community.

Hey mmbr1606,

thanks for your answer, but I tried this already and it didn't work.
When I paste it into the E-Mail Form in to our Microsoft Dynamics 365 System it appears with the href=... text.

Hi @Matteo4
I believe there is no direct copy-to-clipboard function in PowerApps.
The workaround is to use a Power Automate flow. PowerApps sends the title and hyperlink to the flow, which then combines them as a hyperlink and sends an email to the user. The user can then directly copy the hyperlink, avoiding the manual creation of the hyperlink process.

Please refer the screenshots.

You could try this.

I created a dummy collection

Added a gallery with Items colHyperlinks

Then, added a button into the gallery with this code:

Launch("mailto:", {subject: ThisItem.Title, body: ThisItem.HLink })

The button launches / opens a new email with the link, eg

You can include Subject, CC, BCC and Body in the record part of the Launch code - see here

Thanks, guys, but I'm not looking for a way to send a hyperlink to myself via email. I think the process is still faster by copying the hyperlink label and link and creating it manually. If there is a new way to create this and copy it to the clipboard, please keep me updated.

hey @Matteo4

why dont you use Power Automate to send it to yourself? Its only a one time effort to set this up.

Until now i have not seen a copy to clipboard thing on the horizon

It's not about the effort of setting it up. I set it up, but I just don't like the process for the users because it can be confusing for them. I think it’s faster to create the hyperlink manually.

I found a better way for this process now. I created a HTML Field in the Gallery Item and then put the href HTML Code in like this:
"<a href='" & ThisItem.Link & "' style='color: blue;'>" & ThisItem.Title & "</a>"
So now the users, can copy the Hyperlink with marking the hyperlink and copying it.

Now I only need one thing to perfectly end this task: I had a Copy button inside the Gallery Item. Now when I do Copy(HTML Field) its just copying a random Hyperlink in the list.
Is there like a way to say: Copy(ThisItem.Hyperlink) ? Somehow ThisItem is not working here.
