Link to item opens inside Teams

[torbenbj]

I have following setup:

• Preparation
  • Power Automate flow triggered when somebody completes a course
  • SP list with custom Form from Power Apps
  • Sp item opens in edit mode, so user can fill in the form 
• The Flow
  • Somebody completes a course
  • Power Automate triggered
    • Creates a list item in SP list
    • Send a link to user with standard "Link to Item" 
  • User open the item and fills in the Power App Form
    • After submitted user is redirected to Start Page.
• Challange:
  • I want the Form to open up inside Teams or as standalone Power App and not in the standard SharePoint view
• Possible?
• Example of the stardard generated url, I want to manipulate: 

  https://xxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/TrainingCenter/Lists/Evaluation/DispForm.aspx?ID=250&ContentT...

Hi @torbenbj 

Yes, it is possible to achieve your challenge. However, it's a bit more complicated to explain which is why I've created a blog post about it a while ago.

Check it our here => https://fabianackeret.com/powerapps-link-to-specific-screens-items/

To summarize:

• Add your app to MS Teams
• Get the link to your app and change the parameter subEntityId to the screen/itemId
• Adjust your app so that it filters/does something based on the subEntityId
• Use that link in your Power Automate flow

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any issues.

Kind regards,

Fabian

Hi @FabianAckeret , 
Do you have any video that shows how to do it? 
I have tried via your blog but I didn't understand.

I am trying to change a link in power automate flow from web to teams (Now the hyperlink item opens as a web and I want it to open in teams). Is it possible?   

Thanks,

Hi @dorenit 

I'm afraid I don't have a video.

If you follow the manual step by step it works great. Just note that its a Dataverse for Teams solution, not regular Power Apps solution. It's also in the manual.

Kind regards,
Fabian
