Hi @ajithd6368 ,

You need &EmployeeID = , , . . . , not ?

You might also try this to "force open" in the mobile app

ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/2b42393d-99d1-XXXXX?tenantId=cd99fef8-1cd3-4XXX&EmployeeID=05865

I am not sure it will work off a QR code (it does from "Launch with Deep Linking)

Hi @ajithd6368 ,

If that is for both options (& instead of ? and the updated URL). I just ran a test here using the ms-apps link off a QR code and it opened the app, but the parameters did not work. I then ran the original link URl and after answering to open in Power Apps, the deep link worked perfectly. Have you checked that the device is not logged into another tenant?

Hi @ajithd6368 ,

I am just saying I tested it here off a QR code - with both URL structures. The ms-apps structure opened it, but the parameters did not trigger (strange as I use it on a couple of highly-used mobile apps launching one from another and it works fine) and on the "normal" URL, the device prompts for the app instead of the browser and when the app is selected, it opens and triggers the parameters as well. I could not duplicate the experience you posted.

Hi Warren ,

Thanks .. I deleted the PowerApps app from the Phone and used below URLs off the QR .
ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-XX?2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-b518f039fa7d?tenantId=cd99fef8-1cd3-4a2a-9bdf-15531181d65e&EmployeeID=123

ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-XX?tenantId=cd99fef8-1cd3-4a2a-9bdf-15531181d65e?EmployeeID=123
https://apps.powerapps.com/play/2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-XX?tenantId=cd99fef8-1cd3-4a2a-9bdf-15531181d65e&EmployeeID=123
ms-apps:///apps.powerapps.com/play/2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-XX?tenantId=cd99fef8-1cd3-4a2a-9bdf-15531181d65e?EmployeeID=123

It opened the below screen

selected "Continue in browser"

It opened the App without accepting the parameter as below

Hi @ajithd6368 ,

I am not sure which one of the four you posted you used, but you certainly need to replace the second ? with & - the first question mark is the start of the parameter set on any URL (in this case the Tenant ID) - all following need & between them. You can actually do this as you do not need the Tenant ID

https://apps.powerapps.com/play/2b42393d-99d1-4cfb-8a6f-XX?EmployeeID=123

but back to the issue - you are not getting the Switching Organization error now and as I mentioned in my testing, if you have the app on the phone and then choose open with App, the parameters worked. So the options for you are to see which URL works with (I strongly suggest) the app on the phone as I have never had much success running in a browser on a mobile device.

Hi @ajithd6368 ,

I have no further advice unfortunately - it simply should work unless your deep-linking logic is not sound. Try it on a browser on a PC pasting in the URL.
