Create GUID in PowerApps and send it with survey link using automate.

[B8]

I have to send a survey link  from power apps to a customer along with the GUID attached with it. example "www.powerapps.com/GUID=56ad7857-4fac-464d-bdfc-55c1cf098580" 

and also i have to store this GUID in my Share point list also.

Hi @B8 if you want to create a GUID from within Power Apps, please try the GUID() function (no input parameters).
The GUID() function will generate unique ids that you are then able to save to SP.

I hope this helps!

[B8]

how can you brief it

[LaurensM]

@B8 I am not fully following, I'm afraid.

What do you mean by 'brief'?

[B8]

means how i can implement what you suggested and where tell me step by step where i have to create GUID() because I am not sure of the GUID weather i can do it by SET() or Clear Collect()

[LaurensM]

@B8 the GUID will be unique for each link if I understand correctly. In this case you can save the GUID by setting it as a global variable before launching the PA flow:

Set(varGUID, GUID())

You can concatenate your Power Apps links with that variable or patch that variable to the correct record on SharePoint if needed.

The next time the button is pressed or that code is triggered, varGUID will be overwritten with a new GUID.

I have added SET( VarGUID , GUID()); on the ONSTART 

and in the Patch function in the column GUID : VarGUID i had written that also but when i clicking on button it is not storing my GUID but storing other values which i am passing

@B8 , I don't see anything wrong with the code.

(1) Can you check if the varGUID has a value, did you click on 'Run OnStart'? (Tree view on the left, App -> click three dots -> Run OnStart)

(2) I tested this on my end and the GUID was saved to SharePoint. Can you check if the GUID field is a normal text field in SP?

[B8]

GUID column is a single line of text

[B8]

Yeah its showing a value in a textbox when i click on Run ONStart
