Manipulate URL

Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello,

I have a URL parameter ticketid: "https://apps.powerapps.com/play/appid?ticketid=" + id_variable

I also have a timer object on my Homescreen. The timer navigates to a Form view (checks URL for ticketid parameter every 600ms) and loads the ticket with the id in the paramater.

When Im done editing that ticket and I click my save button or cancel button, I navigate back to my homescreen. However the logic in the Timer object gets executed again and im send back to the Form view.

Is there a way for me to write some code that will remove my URL parameters when I click on my save or cancel buttons?

The app works fine when I open it without the parameter.

---------------------------

What could also be a workaround for me atleast is the load("www.etc.com") function but it opens up a new tab which should not be the case. Is there a funtion that changes the URL of the current tab (where the powerapp runs).

Kind Regards

Hi @Anonymous ,
I do something similar but for a difference reason (dynamic URL depending on whether the app is on a PC or mobile device).
Simply make the URL a Variable and change it to "" when you don't want it to launch.

Sadly it did not work with a variable...

It would aso be a problem when you use multiple deeplinking mails....

Timers for me seem to not work.

However I found a solution to my problem

I now use the Apps OnStart property to check if there is a Url param and trigger the entire logic if so.

HI @Anonymous ,
I assumed you were doing this from the start - the Variable certainly works as I use it on about 20 apps.

Yes I needed to trigger some code when the apps gets opened. Start works just fine for that
