Power Apps URL

Posted on by Jay_U

I am trying to use a power app based application catalogue within another system. Power App based application has URL in the form of "https://apps.powerapps.com/play/29fxxxxxxxx", I am trying to guide our users to a subsection(even that has same URL) within this power app using a URL, however users land in the main page of the Power App and they have to do few navigations before they can land in the intended page. This is happening because both main page and subsection has same URL.

Is there a way I can get a direct URL to this subsection so that users can avoid extra navigations and searches to get there.. Thanks in advance

Hi Jay_U if what do you call subsection is a screen in powerapps, the way to redirect to an specific screen instead the main screen is to use queryStrings in the URL like
"https://apps.powerapps.com/play/29fxxxxxxxx&GoTo=Section2"

in the On Visible in the app you just test the If(Param("GoTo") = "Section2", Navigate(screen2))

@Ricardo_Costa Thanks, I need to check this with the Developer who set this up. One thing I am noticing is both "Main Page" and "Subpage" (which I am planning to navigate users to) has the same URL which is "https://apps.powerapps.com/play/29xxxxx" , will this method works if that's the case.

Is there a way I could see below part you mentioned

Yes, because you have the same UTL, you need to use queryString to indicate which screen do you want to navigate.
I just realize that you cant use Navigate function in "OnVisible" property, so I tested here with Select function and a button changing the screen and it worked.

So, if in the end of your URL you add "&GoTo=Section2", the app will redirect to screen 2
