New to Powerapps: Shout out is not working for me

[hemant_kr]

Hi All,

I am new to power apps and trying to customize the Shoutout app for my organization.

When  I started to customize the app it asked me for the permission of office 365 and outlook. I customized it and saved the same, but when I am sending shoutouts to the users it's not going to anyone and also my shoutouts are not getting saved, in new session it is empty.

I read multiple threads and seems to be app saves the data in an excel sheet but the app did not ask for any connection.

Please help me with this.

Hi @hemant_kr 

Todd Baginski had done a video on this a while ago

It includes the demo and setup instructions for the Shout Out App

Thanks, RezaDorani,

I checked the video you have shared, but my issue is I am not getting any alert for one drive or excel connection.

once I create the application, I am not able to save the shoutouts. I am sending shoutouts to my colleague, they are not getting it.

Please refer screenshot below, I tried to create this app again. It's asking only for office365 and outlook connection and after that nothing.

When I am saving this app it's getting saved on the cloud.

selection of the appclicked on create appasking for these 2 connectionthis is customization tab- no excel or one drive connection.

I thought I will get the solution on this big platform. But in one month I did not get any solution. Sad to realize that this big brand doesn't have solutions for simple queries.

Hi @hduwja , @hemant_kr 

I just did a video with a step by step walkthrough of updating the shoutout template (I made the video after looking at this post)

Hopefully this will guide you'll through setting the App correctly

No doubt the template has issues, but please note this template was created a long time ago

Also, everyone on this forum tries their best to provide solutions. Sometimes it does happen that a particular query is such that it requires users to invest their time and actually recreate your scenario and hence it took this long to respond

If this video works for you, please do share your feedback and share it

Note: there are still things like the uploaded shoutout photo and other small quirks that can easily be rectified

Thanks, Reza,
this video was very helpful to customize the app. As I mentioned, I am new to power apps, it was really difficult to know the reason. Now I have an idea about coding and other parts so I can work with the Apps.

Really appreciate your effort. Thanks a lot.
