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.

@WarrenBelz  Hello and thanks.  When I make this change the url does connect to the correct Record in the Gallery ( and I will update your solution accordingly), but making this change in this way has presented me with two new challenges.

1.) I was already using the Item Property on my Gallery for a Search Function in conjunction with a Text Input Search ( Search('Sales Check Request',tbSearchInput.Text,'Check Request Name','Vendor Name')  Is there a way to use the Item Property on my Gallery for both the search function and the recommended  Lookup   

LookUp('Sales Check Request', ID = varGalcheck.ID), Search('Sales Check Request',tbSearchInput.Text,'Check Request Name','Vendor Name') 

2.) I have a two buttons that Navigate to my Gallery ( A List Button and a Back Button). Prior to adding this Lookup Function each would Navigate to the Screen with all the Records displayed, now when they Navigate the Screen, the screen only displays the singe Record.

Hi @jcampbell13 ,

The code is for the Item of the Form, not the Items of the gallery, which you can leave as present.

Thanks @WarrenBelzWarrenBelz for clarifying.  I've tried this lookup but the url in my flow is opening the Gallery and not the Form and still opening to the first Record on my Gallery.

@jcampbell13 ,

Sorry but I am getting a little  unclear on your requirements here. You have a deep link parameter in your URL that you want to open a form at the relevant record. If you also want to select a record in your Gallery, then make that code also the Default of the Gallery - you can leave the Items as they are now.

I'm not sure how the object to open is selected.  In the Power Automate Flow, I am using just the weblink from the Power App and adding the ID Variable.

@jcampbell13 ,

It is very hard for me to help you further without understanding what the issue is. The Flow simply suggests you are sending a parameter in the URL. I have given you two options both using the same code to identify the target record (assuming the URL contains the correct ID) , which can be used as the Item of the Form or and/or the Default of the Gallery.
