How to send link to ID?

Posted on by dj_brum

Hi all.

I am working on a PowerApp where the data is stored in SharePoint list. I have a Flow that sends a link to the created or edited item, but it sends a link to the SP list.

I need to find a way to make it to send a link for the record in PowerApp so that the users can edit it in PowerApp.

I saw 10 videos about using Param but it all look very complicated and non of them are for my case.

Thanks in advance!

Param is how you do it, only way to pass powerapps info to autoload when it opens.

at end of the link you simply place, for example &qrID=12

then in the onstart

If(IsBlank(Param("qrID")), Set(appqrID,1), Set(appqrID, Value(Param("qrID"))));

this example sets a default ID of 1 for the regular opening of powerapps, and sets ID Value to the qrID if one IS provided

So more or less youd use that same if statement and also throw one in the start screen maybe that can make sure the qrID being not blank will bring them straight to the svcreen where the record will be displayed

Thank you Rob! I was able to pass the Param.

But I didn’t understand how to navigate the user to my edit screen.

Sorry but my knowledge in PowerApp is for very basic solution 😞

Click app, as you have in your example photo, then click the drop down and select start screen and there write,

If(!IsBlank(Param("qrID")), EditScreen)

it will look like this (except your will not have a red error line, its in mine because my test app doesnt have an EditScreen page)

Hi Rob, I really appreciate your help. We have progress. It's opening the edit screen, but the record is not the one from the Param. Right now Items for the form is Gallery.selected . Maybe I need to change to something else?

Something like

If(!IsBlank(Param("qrID")), Gallery.Selected, /* then right here put a lookup to the same source data gallery pulls from but for your qrID */ LookUp(Datasource, ID=Param("qrID)))

On my cellphone not in office right now but that should be close

Hi Rob, maybe I didn't to it the right way but it's not working. If I place a Param it's not opening the correct record.

If I play the app the normal way without Param, when I select a record it's not loading anything.
