deep linking to specific record

[halouane]

Hi,

I am building an app and I want to send email to the supervisor for approving and signing the form in the power apps .

I tried following some videos about deep linking to specific record but it didn't work for me. When I click on the link in the email it keeps redirecting me to the detail screen with same record. And me my goal is to redirecting me to the current record created in sharepoint list by the user.

any help please

Hi@WarrenBelz,

I turned on the navigate function in onstart but still showing me the error of navigate is not allowed in onstart when app.startscreen has a value. start screen is empty no code there.

and I checked the RefId is it's passed or not by trying your suggestion of label but I see that it didn't show me the parameter so no parameter is passed.

I don't know what is the problem here

@halouane ,

I need to find out if the parameter is in the URL, or else everything else is a waste of time, so please leave it on both screens. We can go another way here - on StartScreen

If(
   !IsBlank(Param("RefID")),
   DetailScreen1,
   YourNormalScreen
)

Get rid of all the OnStart code relating to this function and put this OnVisible of DetailScreen1

If(
   !IsBlank(Param("RefID")),
   Set(
      varEmpID,
      Value(Param("RefID"))
   )
)

then the Item of your Form

LookUp(
   OrdreDeMission, 
   ID = varEmpID
)

and (as mentioned before), when you choose a record from your Gallery - OnSelect

Set(
   varEmpID,
   ThisItem.ID
);
Navigate(DetailScreen1)

Hi @WarrenBelz 

Now the parameter ID is shown in the label 

but when click on the link still showing me the home screen even if the in the url there is RefID=303

you will find the screenshot of the url 

Because my objectif is when a user fill in a form in the app and submit it then an email should be sent to the manager containing the details of the form of that user and then the user will approve or deny.

so me I want to pass that current ID of that user directly in the email afetr submitting the form 

so are these codes that I have used are they the right codes for this goal 

[halouane]

sorry there is an error in the url this is the url shown after cliking on the link

you will find it attached

@halouane ,

This is not making a lot of sense now - if 

• the value of RefID passed is 302 (and you said you could now see this) AND
• you apply the StartScreen code I posted in the last post AND
• you have nothing in OnStart

then it should navigate to DetailScreen1

If you put the Items of the Form and the OnVisible of the screen I posted, it should display the record with the ID of 302 in the form. However why do you have a hash # after RefID in the URL you posted ?

  - do you see 302 in varEmpID ? If so and you are not getting the result, I do not know what else to offer as it simply should work.

Hi@WarrenBelz,

for the Param Id I can see it in the label varEmpID it'okey with it 

And about # symbol when I click on the link it showed me the home screen with RefID =303 and when I reload the page it showed me the url with # symbol a the end of url and I don't know why it's showed up 

[halouane]

@WarrenBelz 

for your suggestion it's working when I add manually the RefID=312 for example to the url so the detail record showed up 

it's like I have to he gallery and select the record then it can show up but for me I don't want to go to the gallery I want just after submission of the form the email will send directly to the manager with the item just created 

any help in this situation

@WarrenBelz 

It is working now 

I found one of your answers in a post and I used it and it's working now

I added another code in on success form 

If(
   vEmailSend,
   Office365Outlook.SendEmailV2(
      "amy.harkus@tbrown.com", 
      "Subject goes here", 
      "<a href='https://apps.powerapps.com/play/5e3098f8-3fae-415e-a4ae-40dc2755d266?
      tenantId=9a20ce32-86cd-4614-920f-dc519b4e128b&LeaveID=" & 
      EmployeeAbsenceForm.LastSubmit.ID & "'> Link </a> "
    );  
   UpdateContext({vEmailSend:false})
)

 submit 

UpdateContext({vEmailSend:true});
SubmitForm(EmployeeAbsenceForm);
Navigate(ThankYou)

I used these two codes and it's okey now

thank you so much @WarrenBelz for your help
