Create multiple deep links with records

[tanst_844288]

Hi,

I am trying to create 2 deep links that open up to 2 different screens based on the record selected from each of the galleries. Below are the syntaxes:

At OnStart:

Set(VarEmpID,Value(Param("EmpID"))); If(VarEmpID<>0,Set(VarEmp,LookUp('MasterList',ID=VarEmpID)); Navigate('Emp Details'));   Set(VarClearanceID,Value(Param("ClearanceID"))); If(VarClearanceID<>0,Set(VarClearance,LookUp('MasterList',ID=VarClearanceID)); Navigate(EmpClearanceSummary));

For 1st Deep Link For 2nd Deep Link

1st Deep Link

At the Emp Gallery screen

Gallery NextArrow:

Set(VarEmp,ThisItem); Navigate('Emp Details')

At the Emp Details screen:

EditForm.Item:

VarEmp

SendLink_Button.OnSelect:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("MyEmail@email.com", "Subject" , "<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{App ID}?EmpID="& VarEmp.ID &"'>link</a>")

2nd Deep Link

At the Clearance Gallery screen:

Gallery NextArrow:

Set(VarClearance,ThisItem); Navigate('EmpClearanceSummary')

At the EmpClearanceSummary screen:

EditForm.Item:

VarClearance

SendLink_Button.OnSelect:

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("MyEmail@email.com", "Subject", "<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{App ID}?ClearanceID="& VarClearance.ID &"'>link</a>")

The 1st one is working fine.

But the 2nd one is not working, I am able to open up to the EmpClearanceSummary screen but without the record I expected (i.e empty). When I tried to select a record from the Clearance Gallery, it also navigated to an empty EmpClearanceSummary screen. How can I solve this?

I think instead of comparing varEmpID and VarClearanceID to not equals to 0, you should check for whether it's blank or not as you are not passing both the parameters in the URL.

Hi @NandiniBhagya20 ,

Thanks for the fast reply. Do you mean to write something like this?

If(!IsBlank(VarClearanceID), Set(VarClearance,LookUp('MasterList',ID=VarClearanceID)))

Yes you can try this, I am not sure if it will work, but we can give it a try

It still not working, the outcome is the same as before...

I tried again the solution by @WarrenBelz ,

This is the link https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Deep-Linking-with-Multiple-Scrrens/td-p/7011...

Its working for me now, I tried previously but didn't manage to get it work because I didn't set the gallery next arrow the first time I tried. (Sorry, I am still learning having started powerapp a few months back)

So below are the formulas. I removed the second global variable (VarClearance) for the 2nd deep link & used VarEmp for both deep links- I think can only use one global variable.

At OnStart:

Set(VarEmpID,Value(Param("EmpID"))); If(VarEmpID<>0,Set(VarEmp,LookUp('MasterList',ID=VarEmpID))); If( Param("Screen") = "View", Navigate('Emp Details'), Param("Screen") = "Clearance", Navigate(EmpClearanceSummary) )

1st deep link --> View 2nd deep link--> Clearance

1st Deep Link

 

At the Emp Gallery screen

Gallery NextArrow:

Set(VarEmp,ThisItem); Navigate('Emp Details')

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("MyEmail@email.com", "Subject" , "<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{App ID}?EmpID="& VarEmp.ID &"&Screen=View'>link</a>")

2nd Deep Link

At the Clearance Gallery screen:

Gallery NextArrow:

Set(VarEmp,ThisItem); Navigate('EmpClearanceSummary')

Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2("MyEmail@email.com", "Subject", "<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/{App ID}?EmpID="& VarEmp.ID &"&Screen=Clearance'>link</a>")
