Hi, I have this SharePoint list that is a data source for Power Apps.

Requester is a people column

Whenever an item is added to the list, it will send an email to the approver with the Power Apps web link. I use Power Automate to trigger this.

On the first picture, if the user clicks the next arrow, it will display the second picture with the employee's information.

I want that when the approver clicks the link in Outlook, it will direct him to the second picture with the employee's information that is newly created that is based on the ID. How to do this?

Thank you.

Hi @syhrh ,
You will have to send a link like below in the email to approver where we will have one screen parameter and one ID parameter :
https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{App ID}?paraID=<ID>&paraScreen=<ScreenName>
Then you will have to make below changes in your power app:
1. App On Start property:
Set(varParamID, Value(Param("paraID"))); Set(varParamScreen, Param("paraScreen")); If(varParamScreen = "Screen2", Navigate(Screen2), Navigate(Screen1))
2. item property of edit form:
If(IsBlank(varParamID), Gallery1.Selected, LookUp(ListName, ID = varParamID))

Hi @NandiniBhagya20,
this is in Power Automate flow to send the link

//App.OnStart Set(varEmpID, Value(Param("EmpID"))); Set(varParamScreen, Param("paraScreen")); If(varParamScreen = "ApprovalScreen", Navigate(ApprovalScreen), Navigate(ListScreen));
//Form1.Items If(IsBlank(varEmpID), varRecord, LookUp(NewSubordinates, ID = varEmpID))
//NextArrow1.Gallery1.OnSelect Set(varRecord, ThisItem); Navigate(ApprovalScreen);
When I run the flow and click the link on the email, it directs me to the List Screen (Pending Approval List) instead of the Approval Screen with the Employee's leave request information. Is there something wrong with my formula?

Please use the below updated URL in your email link:
