Please help

I want to send a notification with a link to the current record, but it must open in PowerApps, not in SharePoint

On the navigation icon of the gallery where the list is connected, I have this on the "On Select" -

Set(varItem,ThisItem)
 
On the OnStart I have If(!IsBlank(Param("ID")),Set(varItem,LookUp(CREQE_Form,ID = Value(Param("ID"))))); EditForm(Form1_4)
 
Screen start has 
Switch(Param("deeplink"), "form", Screen5)
 
The link works but goes to the first item, it does not go to the current record.
 
What am I missing?
 
Thank you in advance

Deep link : https://apps.powerapps.com/play/e/default-8dafd666-3009-4d5b-bde0-6583a529caad/a/205182eb-4320-4d59-9217-4e69d84abc42?tenantId={mytenantid}&deeplink=form

I removed my tenant id for the sake of privacy

Hi,

I am not following, you use Set(varItem, ThisItem) but thats a record not an ID

How are you setting the ID value? I dont see any code for that

And in the item property of the Edit form what are you putting in there?

Hi NN-21081740-0

Your OnStart formula is looking for a parameter called ID (eg, Param("ID"))

The deep link that you posted does not contain an ID parameter value. Therefore, you would need to modify your deep link to include the ID value in order for it to navigate to your target record.

Thank you for responding to my query.

How do I point the link to the current record, that's my problem.

I am trying to generate a link that will be attached to a power automate email for the user to view their record whenever they need to.

In SharePoint I normally use link to item but in this case, I don't know how it's done. As a result, I followed this video which in the end showed how to go to a desired record not to a current record

Bing Videos

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi NN-21081740-0

Can you describe how where and how you're generating the link and calling Power Automate?

For example, if you're displaying the target record in Form control, you can add a button to a custom card.

ThisItem.ID will return the ID value, and you can pass this to your flow and construct the link in the flow.
