Lauch PowerApps Link to open specific screen

[nikfikrie92]

Hello, I have created my PowerApps and use MS Flow to send the email content with a link to launch the specific screen in my application. Is it possible to create a link that will open the directly to the screen when I clicked on the link provided? I already use OnTimerEnd option but will go to the first page and then after a few seconds, it will navigate to the screen which is not good practice for our apps. 

Thank you in advance!

Hi,

Yes you can navigate to specific screen as per your requirement.

In the Powerapps URL at the end add &screenID=1 (Screen IDs you can define as your wish)

Within your Canvas app, App --> Onstart property enter the following formulae

Set(startScreen,Param("screenID")); //Read ScreenID Parameter

Switch(startScreen, "1", Navigate(Screen1),"2",Navigate(Screen2)); //Navigate to corresponding screen as per the ID

Hope this answers your question.

If it answers please mark it as verified.

Hi,

That actually work for me thanks for that. By the way, is it possible to add another parameter in the link? I would like to add item also like this.

?ItemId=293&&screenID=1

Use &itemid=229&ScreenID=1.

Need some help with this.

I can get the links to the different screens to work when I paste the different URLs directly in the browser URL, BUT when I embed the PowerApp link directly into a SharePoint modern page, the switching does not work.

Any ideas why the behavior would be different on a SharePoint page vs. direct link?

How do you define a screen id or find what the id is for a screen?
