I haven't worked with it to include parameters, but that is essentially what you want. You need to be able to push the notification with the ID or some other identification of the record you want to open.

In your App you could look at the parameter (Param function) passed, such as ID, and if there is one, then navigate to the screen you want with the item you want.

The information for the connector indicates that you need to specify the URL for the Target Application. I don't know if you can pass parameters there in the URL, but that would be my very first spot to check and see.

If that doesn't work, then it seems you can also pass a message body. Perhaps you could also use that to pass an identification.

I hope this sheds some light for you.

Actually in regard to my last post...I misread the docs, it is looking for the URL or ID of the app to create the connection needed. I don't believe you can mess with that once connected.

But, you can pass the params as part of the recipient list. This is the formula I found:

PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification(
{message:"your Message",
recipients:
["recipient1", <email>],
params:Table({key:"notificationKey", value:"The value for notificationKey"})
}
)

This is completely untested from my standpoint, but from what I see, this can be done.

Please review this documentation on the use of the notifications. There is a section in there for passing parameters, both from Flow and PowerApps.

Hope this is clearer.

@RandyHayes Thanks for the information.
I tried this. I passed the ID as a parameter in the SendPushNotification function. But I am not sure, How do i check the value from any other screen. I used Param("Key") in the home page and tried to see the value when opening on the device by clicking on the notification. But, nothing is disaying

PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification({recipients:[emailtosend],message:"New Request",params:{key: "id", value:Text(Gallery1.Selected.ID)},openApp:true})

And i used
Param("key") in a text property of the label to check the value. But it is not dispaying anything.

Thanks,
Yama

Something strange happened to your posting...it disappeared from the forum. It's back now!

Try this for your parameters - it is a table that is needed.

PowerAppsNotification.SendPushNotification( { recipients:["email1@contoso.com", "email2@contoso.com"], message:"message in the notif toast", params:Table({key:"notificationKey", value:"The value for notificationKey"}), openApp:true } )

I believe you were close on your formula. You just needed to put your parameter in a Table as highlighted above.

I hope this helps.

Hi @Yama_Vin ,

Instead of Param("key"), try to use keyname instead i.e. Param("id").
I have used similar feature - but I had sent notificaiton from FLOW.

Even if this doesnt work change the way you are sending parameter to simple JSON - dont use key and value keywords - instead try something as below
{
"id": "Text(Gallery1.Selected.ID)"
}
Hope this helps.
