Deep link does not work between environments

Hello!

I've built a model driven power app with several automated cloud flows. The flows send emails with a deep link so the user can access a specific record. It works in the developer environment. However, the link is broken in the production environment. I compared the URLs and they are different. Clearly, I need to use the production environment URL, but what is the best way to do this?

Option 1: Put the production environment URL (plus dynamic content for GUID) into the deep link of the flow in my developer environment. Then export as is.

Option 2: Create a variable to use either the production or environment URL in the flow. I don't know how to do this, but a user who is no longer active mentioned this in a post last year:

Any advice on the best way to manage this would be much appreciated.

I finally found the answer to this. I need to create an environment variable in my model driven app and update my flows with this variable. I needed to create another variable within the flows to create a deep link. My environment variable is named "URL to Record":

Hi weiyifan,

Environment variables are the best way to manage URLs for dynamic deep linking i

or

For simple logic, use the Workflow() function to retrieve the current environment's URL dynamically

thanks
