Problem with making a call from Power App to employees.

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello everyone,

I've spend a lot of time building a power app that will serve as a "digital receptionist"

I have a Excel list connected with all of our employees and their intern phone numbers.
Right now I use the following code to let it call their number: Launch("tel://"&ThisItem.Number). This works great but it has a couple of fine-tune issues. If I open the Power App on my tablet and click on the phone, it will open 3CX (Our VOIP solution) and then I have to manually click on call in the app, and after the call I have to manually go back to the app.

Is there any way to automate this process or maybe let it all run on the background? So that it never leaves the Power App?

I really hope someone can help me.
