Deep Linking with Multiple Scrrens

[AkshayManke]

Hi,

I am not much familiar with Param function hence asking this question.

I have created an app where i have added deep linking with the below code in the OnStart Property of the App.

Set(VarIdeaID,Value(Param("IDEA")));If(VarIdeaID<>0,Set(VarIntake,LookUp('ListName',ID=VarIdeaID));Navigate(DetailsWithApproval))

And embedded the below code in the deep link which is working perfectly fine.

<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/id and Tenent ID + &IDEA=" & Item.ID & "'> Link </a>"

I don't have any issue with the above code so far.

Now i want one more deep link which will redirect to a different form than 'DetailsWithApproval'. So was thinking to create a new app. I i am sure that there must be a way using which i can create multiple deep links and i can navigate to the different screens using the link.

Can anyone please help that how to do add multiple deep links within same application?

Hi @AkshayManke ,

You can easily send multiple parameters by adding them in you Launch string separated by & signs. Just give the second parameter a different name and apply the same logic as you have for the other parameter/s on the App.OnStart

<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/id and Tenent ID + &IDEA=" & Item.ID & "&Param2=" & YourParam2 & "'> Link </a>"

Hello @WarrenBelz,

Many thanks for suggesting the solution. I was trying to create the another link but somehow i am not able to do that and ending up with confusion. I would be glad if you can share the detailed steps that what should i add in the App-OnStart Property and in the Link.

As i this will be all together a different screen so i will just need the user to be redirected to the one.

Many Thanks,

Akshay

Hi @AkshayManke ,

Using your syntax and Param2 as the Parameter - I do not know what you are trying to achieve with this, but one structure would be something like this.

Set(
   VarIdeaID,
   Value(Param("IDEA"))
);
Set(
   VarParam2,
   Param("Param2")
);
If(
   !IsBlank(VarParam2),
   Navigate(Param2Screen),
   If(
      VarIdeaID<>0,
      Set(
         VarIntake,
         LookUp(
            'ListName',
             ID=VarIdeaID
         )
      );
      Navigate(DetailsWithApproval
   )
)

Hello Warren @WarrenBelz,

Thanks for helping with the code with more details. However i am still not clear about the variables you added in the code. Best i am giving my requirement as below, so that you can help me with the exact code.

1. The App has two screen (DetailsWithApproval & I_Submit - In future there will be more screens ) which are having forms added in it.

2. To Navigate to the Form I have created Created List Screens where added Gallery. ThisItem (Button) is added in 'VarIntake' using below

Set(VarIntake, ThisItem); Navigate(DetailsWithApproval)

similarly in the other list screen the button is coded with below

Set(VarIntake, ThisItem); Navigate(I_Submit)

3. In short, ThisItem is added in VarIdea.

I tried steps from this link: https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/redirect-users-to-specific-screen-of-powerapps-from-email-noti...

Just before getting your recent email i was trying the below.

App-OnStart

Set(
    VarIdeaID,
    Value(Param("IDEA"))
);
If(
    VarIdeaID <> 0,
    Set(
        VarIntake,
        LookUp(
            'ListName',
            ID = VarIdeaID
        )
    )
);
If(
    Param("Screen") = "Apr",
    Navigate(DetailsWithApproval),
    Param("Screen") = "Update",
    Navigate(I_Update)
)

and was trying to add the below in the link:

<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/<ID>&IDEA=Screen=Apr" & VarIntake.ID & "'> Link </a>

&

<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/<ID>&IDEA=Screen=Update" & VarIntake.ID & "'> Link </a>

The good part is, i am landing to the correct screen but the ID is not getting recognized and i am getting a blank form. I think i am doing some mistake. Will appreciate if you can help me where i am going wrong and what should be the codes.

Thanks,

Akshay

Hi @AkshayManke ,

Firstly, the OnStart looks right (it sets the ID and navigates to a screen depending on the second parameter

Set(
   VarIdeaID,
   Value(Param("IDEA"))
);
If(
   VarIdeaID <> 0,
   Set(
      VarIntake,
      LookUp(
         'ListName',
         ID = VarIdeaID
      )
   )
);
If(
   Param("Screen") = "Apr",
   Navigate(DetailsWithApproval),
   Param("Screen") = "Update",
   Navigate(I_Update)
)

but your link needs to look like this

<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/<ID>&IDEA=" & VarIntake.ID & "&Screen=Update'> Link </a>

Hello @WarrenBelz,

finally i came across the below code in the OnStart of the App.

Set(
    VarIdeaID,
    Value(Param("IDEA"))
);
If(
    VarIdeaID <> 0,
    Set(
        VarIntake,
        LookUp(
            'ListName',
            ID = VarIdeaID
        )
    );
    Navigate(DetailsWithApproval)
)

I created multiple parameters like the above and added them in to the links separately. It is working fine now and i am getting the expected results. 

Many Thanks for your help and guidance. 

Regards,

Akshay
