Clicking on link opens another browser tab

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by koontz 216

I have an app that sends an email that contains a link to the user's form. This works great, however, every time the user clicks on the link, it opens a new browser tab. For example, if a user clicks on the link in the email 5 times, it will open 5 browser tabs. How can I change it so that any click would send the user to the (already open) browser tab?

 

Thanks!

    Hi @koontz ,

    This is the default behaviour (to open a hyperlink in a new tab) as Power Apps has no idea what any other open tab contains and also there is nothing to stop the user closing the tab after the email is read, so the short answer is you cannot do it.
