Launching a URL stored in a Sharepoint list

Posted on by 4

Hello--very new to Power Apps, but I'm trying to clean up an app created by a colleague who left the Company. One project he was working on prior to leaving was to enhance our internal app for better management in the future. Our apps has a lot of buttons used to launch various URLs. Currently, each button will launch the URL that is typed into the properties of said button; however, the goal will be to maintain a consolidated list of all URLs used throughout the app in a Sharepoint list that is separately monitored for updates (sometimes the webpages change URLs so we have a regular cadence of validating that there are no broken links) and for our app to pull the URL from that list (instead of having to open the properties of each button and update any URLs that way.

 

Currently, we have the Sharepoint list created with 2 fields, "Name" and "URL", it is appropriately connected to our app in Power Apps, but now we want to be able to change the action when clicking the button from "Launch(url)" to "Launch(url from sharepoint list)" but we're struggling to figure out how to select an individual item in the list. This is likely a simple answer, but we're very new and can't seem to find help in existing questions in the forums. Thank you.

    Add a gallery to your app and set the Items to the name of your SP List. Then, add an icon/button to the gallery and add this code to the OnSelect property

     

    Launch( ThisItem.URL )

     

    You can also add a label to your gallery with the Text property set to ThisItem.Name, for reference.

    Hi @vanme55 ,

    There are several ways of doing this, but with buttons, if you put the same Text as the Name in the URL list, you would have the OnSelect as 

    Launch(
     LookUp(
     YourURLListName,
     Name = Self.Text
     ).URL
    )

    I've tried using the following formulas I found here, but neither one works. Is this something I need to do on the SharePoint side or Power Apps side?

    Thank you.
