Embedded Canvas not able to pull model driven app information

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 10

Hi All,

 

I am trying to embed a canvas app in model drive app form by following the Ms documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/embedded-canvas-app-add-classic-designer#embed-a-canvas-app-using-the-classic-experience.

 

However, on the creation of the app by clicking customize button on the model-driven app form, I noticed that App ID & App name isn't getting generated automatically(It used to happen previously). I tried inserting the App ID & Name manually and noticed that the canvas app isn't able to retrieve the model-driven app information(form displays Getting your data...):

Note: I am not trying to pull/display related entity information. I am trying to pull the Account ID and I have embedded the app in the same form.

 

I attempted the same approach a few months ago, and last time I was able to embed a canvas app into the model-driven app form and retrieve the information successfully. However, this issue started happening recently. Is anyone else facing the same issue?

 

Thank you in advance!

Ajay

    hi @ajayravi-94 

    Following are the step to embed canvas app within your model driven main form 

    1)first you need to create the canvas app once you have created the app just save that.

    2)after creating canvas app go back and select the app which you have created copy the app name and app id (To copy the app id select the app and then goto details from three dots from their you get app id)

    3)Add one more field in the table where you want to embed the canvas app because we are embedding the canvas app as a control within main form .

    4)Open the main form in switch to classic mode 

    5)Select the field which you have created in table which i told in 3rd step  for embedding canvas app then double click on that field and then field property page will open ,in that page there will be a difference option available like display, business rule ,details, event but just select control from there1st.png

     

    Then click on add control then from there select canvas app as follow and then click on add

    After clicking on add button  following type of page will open make sure that all three radio button should be on for canvas app as you can see in image

    Then provide the same canvas aap name while editing app and app id as shown in below figure

    After that just save the changes and publish it 

    So, in that way you can embed the canvas app within model driven app

    Hi @surajkv ,

     

    Thank you for the details. 

     

    I am trying to embed the canvas app in model-driven app and send the parameters to Canvas App using ModelDrivenFormIntegration control which gets automatically created when you create a canvas app from model-driven app form: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/model-driven-apps/embedded-canvas-app-properties-actions

    ajayravi94_0-1644415865653.png

    This controls will allow us to pull the current record value from model-driven app in the canvas app for example - Account number, Account Name etc.

     

    Is there any issue with this functionality? Is there an alternate way to send parameters to the embedded canvas app from a model-driven app potentially without any additional script?
