I am using the following to pass a parameter from one mobile app to another (App A to App B)

Launch("https://apps.powerapps.com/play/e/xxxxxxxxxxxxx&sourcetime=1xxxx&MyParam=abcdefg",Blank(),LaunchTarget.Replace)

Works fine I then pick up the parameter abcedfg to use in App B

However I would like that to be a dynamic value that is set in App A and gets added to the URL not a static abcedfg etc.. Is this possible? have tried lots of different ways but can't quite get it..

Thanks

@vffdd - Just as a comment, strictly speaking, the first parameter that you pass should be separated with a ? symbol. If you use & throughout (as in the original formula that you posted), that can cause problems when passing values between apps.
