exit() and return to custom destination

[buildbod]

Can the exit() formula be used to exit the app and redirect the user to a specific page rather than the apps list.

For example:

I have an app that is launched by clicking a link in a SharePoint page

I want to close the app and return back to the SharePoint page

Hi @buildbod,

No, I don't think that will work.

Exit function in PowerApps

"

The Exit function exits the currently running app. The user is returned to the list of apps, where they can select another app to open.

Syntax

Exit()

"

And currently it only accepts one parameter, boolean value of logout.

Exit(Logout)

For example, Exit(true), which then would have the app automatically log out the current user and navigate to the login screen of PowerApps.

A workaround here is:

Add a launch function before the Exit(), specify the SharePoint Address within the Launch(), for example:

Launch("https://powerusers.microsoft.com");Exit(true)

This would open a new webpage of the SharePoint page, not the original one.

Hope this is helpful.

Regards,

Michael

Ok thank you. I'm using the work around already though it is a little clunky as you end up with two tabs. One with the closed app (which redirects to the app list) and one with the SharePoint page. Ideally the function would allow for:

exit("url of page")

In the case of an app launched from the views in a SharePoint list then the behaviour needs to be automatic i.e.

exit("return to list from which the app is launched")

How can i do procedure if I would like to ask to the user "Do you really want to leave the app? before launched to a new web pagE?

Maybe have the current Exit button open a "Confirmation" Screen wtih "OK"/"Cancel" buttons, and then relocate the 'Exit..." logic from Exit button to the "OK" button on confirmation screen.  "Cancel" would just close Confirmation Screen ?

Apps now include actions on close

Hi @buildbod 

Try this, it worked for me.

Launch('https://your.redirect.link", Blank(), LaunchTarget.Replace)
