PowerApps Notification bugs

Hi PA

I have recently re-study the performance of PowerApps Notification (Premium) and found following bugs

Bug 1:

1. PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification({recipients:["email1@appemail.com], message:If(IsBlank(TextInput1.Text), " ", TextInput1.Text), openApp: true, params: Table({key: "mymsg", value: msg_app.Text})})

- I can send and receive PowerApps Notification in Android Phone

- But if the message is Blank, it will be not send (and prompt error). So I use a If statement. Is it a known bugs?

- for params: Table({key: "mymsg", value: msg_app.Text} or Table({key: "mymsg", value: "I am sending you message"})

both works, but the message shown (this is populated in a Label1.Text = Param("mymsg"))

is Label1 = I+am+sending+you+message.

(all spaces are appended with "+")

This bugs is similar to powerapps mail which happened 2 years ago and until now, no PA team really looks into this issues.

2. PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification({recipients:["app id"], message: "I love you"})

- app id is definitely extracted from powerapps detail in the web. Nothing wrong

- But error and never success:

error: InvalidPrincipalIdorMail, and the recipients : "appid" is not a recognized email address or object identifier in the directory.

Please investigate on these issues.

Hi @PK_Hong ,
1)This is not a bug.
In the function of SendPushNotification, the message body is required. It can't be Blank. So if the message is Blank, the formula will return error message.
Here's doc for your reference:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/add-notifications
2)Yes, this situation is really true.
If you use Param() to receive the parameter from the URL that you provided within your app, Powerapps will encode the spaces in the URL as +.
If you want to avoid this , you could use replace().
If this issue be fixed, I will leave message here.
3) The value of recipients should not be appid.
It should be a list of:
Email addresses for users or security groups
Object IDs for users or security groups in Azure Active Directory
You could refer this to use function of SendPushNotification:

Hi @v-yutliu-msft
Thanks for reply.

1. message - thanks for reminindg. It is a "required" field
2.
recipients String array, required
Email addresses for users or security groups - I have no problem
Object IDs for users or security groups in Azure Active Directory
Why does your example in documentation mentions AppID is acceptable?
Maybe I misunderstand this example?
PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification(
{
recipients: ["f60ccf6f-7579-4f92-967c-2920473c966b", "72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47"],
message: "A new case was assigned to you."
}
)

["....", "..."] are those AppID?

3. "+"
- OK, it is a bugs and I will use alternative way but it is not a good idea.
Hope improved sooner as possible.

Hi @PK_Hong ,
1)AppID: is used to fill in the information when creating connection with PowerApps Notification.
2)The value of recipients is Email or Object IDs for users
recipients: ["f60ccf6f-7579-4f92-967c-2920473c966b", "72f988bf-86f1-41af-91ab-2d7cd011db47"]
///Object IDs for users

Hi Phoebe

Yes. AppID is used to connect to Powerapps Notification. Definitely is clear when connecting to it.

Looks like I have misunderstood the recipients requiring Object Id for users.
So the last question is where can I extract this Object ID for users?

Appreciate.
