Startup a SP List with PowerApp

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I was wondering the best way to go about this. I currently have an app in which is related to a SP list. I want the user to be greeted with the PowerApp upon clicking onto the list (rather than having to click New+ in the top left hand corner). Any ideas how I can enable this functionality?

Ta,

Craig

Hi @Anonymous,

If you mean that you want to show the PowerApps app on SharePoint site page, then you could achieve this by using the Embed web part capability on the SharePoint page and add the app as an iframe content. 

The iframe code I am using above is like following. Please refer to this post where it shows how to generate the src Uri for your app.

<iframe width="1024px" height="768px" src="https://web.powerapps.com/webplayer/iframeapp?hideNavBar=true&source=iframe&screenColor=rgba(104,101,171,1)&appId=/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/[AppID]" />

Notes:

1. I suggest using the width and height property to set the content area to your app's aspect ratio, it will ensure that there is no grey background area around your app and your page looks visually rich.

2. Depending on your SharePoint site settings, you may get an error that embedding content from PowerApps website is not allowed. To work around this, please work with you site administrator to add "powerapps.com" is the list of allowed domains.

This is not the final version of this capability but rather the first step in the journey, we will make this experience much easier to use without the need to manually create iframe, src Uri or using web parts.

Mona

Hi @Anonymous,

I just rechecked your original post and want you need cannot be achieved so far. The only way to make the custom form view shown is to click on new/edit item. If you need to show the whole form directly after you open the list, you might need to add an idea in PowerApps idea forum:
