Create hyperlink button

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

Hi,

I have a hyperlink column in a SharePoint list and right now in the custom Power Apps Form it is showing the full URL.

I am looking to create a button that is linked to whatever URL is in the column. Keep in mind that this URL will be unique for different Items in the SharePoint List, since they are links to job folders. At the moment, the URL takes up a lot of space. I want to condense it to either custom text or convert to a button within Power Apps (the URL is obtained by a Power Automate property)

Thanks!

Hi,

Add a button control below Folder location label and use Launch() function in OnSelect property of button to open a url in a new window. Set URL to a variable and use the variable as input to the Launch function.
Example:
Launch("365stack.in")
Mark as solution if this solve your problem. Visit our site for other powerapps related content.

Thanks.

Thanks for the response.

I am fairly new to Power Apps and I couldn't figure out how to find the variable for the URL value and how to implement that variable into the Launch function.

Hello,

Use this Set(varUrl, "Google.com") to create a variable. Instead of Google.com, use your SharePoint column data carrying the URL or URL obtained from the power automate. Then use this variable in the Launch function.

Still no luck. I am unsure of where to create the variable, sorry I am no good at this.

Is there perhaps a simpler way to just condense the Hyperlink text to a custom text?

Hi,

I have done as you mentioned. I have noticed however, my button is not actually clickable in SharePoint.

Also, this is the HTML variable that is produced by Automate - how do I pump this into the Set varURL function above? Do I just copy/paste the entire thing?

Could you please use Parent.Default directly

Set(varURL, Parent.Default); Launch(varURL);

or else
Set(varURL, ThisItem.columnName); Launch(varURL);
columnName is the Name of the column having the URL value

I have done as you requested - I still can't actually click the button though, nothing happens when I click it.

Hi @Anonymous ,

What mode is the form in - that will only work in Edit mode.

Hi,
This fixed the clicking issue - I needed to change the mode to Edit for the 'Folder Location' field.
But now I get this error when I click it:
