When triggering a flow in Power Automate using Deep Linking in my Power Apps the user is taken to the correct screen in Power Apps but not to the correct Record ID.

We have a Power Apps application for which we are using a PowerAutomate Flow for notification purposes.  The Flow is set up using the delivered ‘When an item is created or modified Trigger and the Switch command in Power Automate.  Each Case in the Switch is using the ‘Send an email (V2) Operation.

I have set the StartScreen Property to my Gallery and the OnStart property to check for the ID Parameter and set my Gallery variable

 If(

    !IsBlank(Param("ID")),

    Set(

        varGalcheck,

        LookUp(

            'Sales Check Request',

            ID = Value(Param("ID"))

        )

    );

    EditForm(SalesCheckRequestForm)

We are using the url from the Web link Power Apps Details and adding one variable for the Record ID from the Power Apps Gallery

https://apps.powerapps.com/play/e/blablablabla?tenantId=hidden-hidden-hidden4025&ID="18’

But when a user selects the link, it correctly opens the Power App Gallery Screen but goes to the first row of the Gallery instead of going to the correct Item based on the ID.

Hi @jcampbell13 ,

My first question here is the Item of SalesCheckRequestForm it should be varGalcheck. Is this correct ? Also have you checked the incoming URL to ensure that the correct ID is received ?

[jcampbell13]

Hi @WarrenBelz 

1.) Yes - the Item of SalesCheckRequestForm is varGalcheck

2.) I do check the incoming URL, however, I do have a few different version of the Apps as I continue to make changes, so there could be an instance where the Url stored in the Power App.  I see your point where it could look like it is opening the same Gallery, but it actually could a different App.
3.) Do you know if I need to include the Sourcetime Variable (&sourcetime=123456789012) as part of the url in my Flow?  I read that this was unnecessary and could be left off of the url?

[WarrenBelz]

Hi @jcampbell13 ,

No SourceTime is not necessary as far as I can see. The next debugging exercise would be to put a Label on the screen with varGalCheck.ID and see if it returns the ID you believe you sent the app.

[jcampbell13]

I was able to confirm and test that the incoming URL is correct, but am getting the same result. I also tried adding the variable I am using in my start screen to the URL set up in Power Apps with not change. The Gallery is opening but not the Record ID included in the URL.

@jcampbell13 ,

So you know that varGalCheck.ID contains the correct ID. What and how are your opening (Gallery or Form) and what is the Items/Item that references this value?

[jcampbell13]

@WarrenBelz , For opening this Gallery, on the Gallery itself my OnSelect Property is set to set that variable and navigate to the screen contain this Gallery.

EditForm(SalesCheckRequestForm);

Set(varGalcheck, ThisItem);

Navigate(SalesCheckRequestScreen,ScreenTransition.Cover);

And my Item Property is set to specifically for searching the Gallery Fields (columns)

 Search('Sales Check Request',tbSearchInput.Text,'Check Request Name','Vendor Name')

[WarrenBelz]

@jcampbell13 ,

I also need the Item of the Form.

[jcampbell13]

The Item Property on the Form is just the variable, 

varGalcheck

And the OnSuccess Property on the Form is 

Set(

    varRecordSalesCheckRequestForm,

    SalesCheckRequestForm.LastSubmit

);

ViewForm(SalesCheckRequestForm);

Navigate(SuccessScreen)

[WarrenBelz]

@jcampbell13 ,

Try this

LookUp(
   'Sales Check Request',
   ID = varGalcheck.ID
)
