From YouTube: Deep linking a Power App to replicate InfoPath
Description
In this 15-minute citizen developer-focused demo, Christian McIntosh shares an equipment transfer process that includes 3 forms / 3 Power Apps coordinated by One Power Automate flow. Forms include capabilities - edit form, change view and e-mail submitter, previously delivered by InfoPath controls. Status of form completion/approval/closure stored in SharePoint list. See user view of forms, step through form code and then through the Power Automate Flow that includes deep link URLs, i.e., from e-mail to forms.

A
How
I
replicated
some
of
the
controls
that
are
provided
with
info
pass
and
here's
resources
of
two
blogs
that
I
found
very
useful.
And
so
now
we
can
begin
to
demo.
I'll
drag
my
screen
over
here
and,
as
you
can
see,
I've
created
a
communication
site
and
I've
got
a
list.
So
after
the
user
submits
a
form,
they
can
see
the
status
of
the
form
that
they
just
completed
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
create
a
new
form
and
just
to
give
you
a
little
background
context.
A
This
is
an
equipment,
transfer
removal
form
so
anytime
that
a
member
of
our
company
is
looking
to
remove
some
of
the
equipment
in
their
office,
such
as
a
computer
or
office
equipment
such
as
a
bookshelf
or
a
vehicle
or
things
of
that
nature.
They
would
complete
one
of
these
forms,
and
this
is
the
way
of
us
to
keep
track
of
the
things
that
are
being
disposed
of
within
our
company.
A
And
so
now
we
have
the
approval,
email
and,
as
you
can
see,
Darth
Vader
is
my
immediate
supervisor,
but
if
you
were
to
remove
an
email,
I
have
error
message
that
is
displayed
asking
the
user
to
put
a
valid
email
in
the
requested
by
field
and
I
will
answer
another
email
to
show
you
an
example
where
I
am
the
immediate
supervisor,
and
so
we
will
keep
going
so
now.
I
select
the
category
of
the
item
to
remove
and
do
a
computer.
A
A
A
And
if
we
come
to
Outlook,
we
will
see
that
the
approval
has
been
sent,
and
so
this
is
the
email
that
the
immediate
supervisor
will
receive,
and
it
basically
contains
some
information
about
the
form,
such
as
the
form
type
item,
description
who
was
created
by
and
things
of
that
nature.
But
just
in
case
they
would
like
to
be
provided
with
more
information.
A
I've
also
provided
a
link
to
the
completed
form,
and
this
is
my
first
use
of
deep
linking-
and
this
is
the
separate
power
app
from
the
original
form,
completion,
power,
apps
and
none
of
these
fields
can
be
edited.
It
would
just
be
a
hard
copy
and,
like
I
mentioned
earlier,
just
to
provide
them
with
more
information,
so
get
out
of
that.
Go
ahead
and
approve
the
request,
and
you
can
answer
comments
if
you
would
like.
A
There
they
are
I,
initially
send
another
email
to
the
submitter,
letting
them
know
that
their
request
has
been
approved
and
then
I
send
a
hard
copy
email
to
the
submitter,
similar
to
the
email
that
I
sent
to
the
immediate
supervisor,
and
here
I've
used
a
little
HTML
to
make
the
email
look
better
and
if
they
click
the
form
button
in
the
center
of
the
email,
it
would
be
taken
to
the
same
power
app
that
I
provided
to
the
immediate
supervisor.
So
none
of
the
fields
can
be
changed.
A
It
would
just
be
sort
of
like
a
hard
copy
until
I
come
down
because
our
stage
was
set
to
tech
support.
They
will
receive
a
notification
as
well
and
if
they
click
the
form
button,
they'll
be
taken
to
different
form
and
I'll.
Go
into
the
explanation
here
in
just
a
second,
but
I've
also
provided
a
hyperlink
at
the
bottom
of
the
page
to
a
specific
tech
support
page
and
they
can
see
all
the
items
that
are
assigned
to
them.
A
And
if
you
look
on
the
left,
you
will
see
this
edit
form
hyperlink,
which
was
a
feature
of
info
path.
That
I
went
ahead
and
replicated
and
added
to
the
SharePoint
list.
If
I
click
this,
it
would
also
take
them
to
the
specific
form-
and
this
is
the
third
power
app
that
I've
created
and
so
I'll
go
on
to
a
little
bit
of
detail
about.
A
What's
going
on
so
on
the
top
left
hand,
part
of
the
screen,
they
have
a
back
button,
which
is
another
pop-up
I
created
that
can
either
take
you
to
the
tech,
support
or
campus
Services
page
and
on
the
right
on
the
top
right
hand,
part
of
the
scene
there's
a
change,
View
control
that
I've
created-
and
this
was
another
feature
of
info
path
and
so
to
scroll
down.
These
are
the
questions
that
are
specific
to
tech
support.
A
But
if
you
select
campus
Services,
we
will
see
the
camera
Services
questions,
and
this
is
another
as
I
mentioned
feature
of
info
pad.
So
also,
if
you
scroll
down,
you
see
the
questions
that
they
would
need
to
answer
and
I've
added
another
send
email
control,
which
is
another
feature
of
info
pad
and
test
this
out.
A
This
allows
the
analysts
to
send
a
quick
email
to
the
submitter.
Just
you
know
see
what
time
you
would
like
to
pick
up
the
equipment
or
anything
of
that
nature.
So
but
I'll
just
go
ahead
and
just
send
a
test
email
to
show
you
how
this
works
and
send
how
to
split
a
notification
at
the
top
of
the
screen.
If
we
heard
the
sound
so
now
we
can
see
that
the
email
has
been
sent
and
so
now
I'll
show
you
the
three
power
apps
and
explain
what
I
did
so.
A
Here's
the
first
form
and
we
have
the
first
two
fields
which
I'm
pretty
sure
you're
familiar
with
I've,
just
used
to
use
the
email
function
and
the
Now
function.
And
then,
if
we
come
down
to
the
approval,
email,
I've
used,
The,
Office,
365,
connector
and
the
manager
function,
that's
located
within
it
and
I
went
ahead
and
passed
in
the
the
requested
by
field,
and
so
I
put
an
if
error
on
the
outside
of
that.
A
Because
powerapps
will
display
an
error
message
if
this
is
not
a
valid
email,
and
so,
in
spite
of
that,
I
just
went
ahead
and
displayed
a
blank
field
in
the
approval,
email
and
then
I
have
a
separate
error
message
that
I've
used
and
I
use
the
coalesce
function
to
where
I
basically
checked
to
see.
If
the
request
about
field
is
a
valid
email
and
if
it's
not
I,
ask
the
user
to
enter
valid
email
display
that
error
message,
so
we
scroll
down
and
these
forms
are.
A
These
fields
were
just
items
that
I
put
into
a
SharePoint
list
and
display
them,
and
then
edit
form
control.
And
if
we
go
to
the
bottom,
the
stage
is
not
an
edit.
You
cannot
edit
the
stage.
This
is
based
on
the
category
selection.
So
I
have
two.
If
statements
basically
stating
that
if
the
user
selects
computer
or
computer
equipment,
then
the
status
tech
support
and
if
not
on
the
stage,
would
be
campus
services
for
the
cancel.
A
Well,
I've
used
label
controller
to
create
the
labels
and
then
two
buttons.
It's
just
about
it.
For
this
form,
so
I'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
second
one,
and
this
is
my
first
use
of
deep
linking
and
so
we'll
start
on.
Onstar
and
I
use
the
collect
function
and
I
went
ahead
and
created
a
new
collection
to
store
my
data
source,
and
this
helped
with
any
delegation
warnings.
And
then,
after
that,
I
created
a
new
variable
called
variable.
A
Let's
see
but
I
go
ahead
and
start
the
user
on
the
user
screen
and
I
have
a
timer
that
goes
off
after
one
second,
and
this
was
this-
is
what
provides
us
to
this
specific
record.
So
I
have
a
new
statement,
basically
saying
that
if
the
variable
employee
ID,
which
I
created
on
start,
is
not
equal
to
zero
and
not
go
ahead
and
create
another
variable
called
far
record
and
I
look
up.
A
So
now
we
go
to
the
third
form
and
I've
used
the
same
deep
leaking
process
that
I
use
for
the
second
form,
but
I've
added
a
few
more
controls,
and
so
the
top
left
is
another
pop-up
that
I've
created,
which
I'll
select
I,
use
the
launch
function
on
selective,
either
these
buttons
to
take
them
back
to
the
communication
site
and
their
respective
page.
So
either
the
campus
Services
page
or
the
tech
support
page
and
on
the
right
hand,
side.
A
A
Then
I'll
send
a
notification
at
the
top
of
the
screen
just
to
let
them
know
that
the
email
is
successfully
sent
and
I
see
and
on
my
save
changes.
I've
also
created
another
Power
automate
within
this
power
app
and
which
is
basically
just
an
update
item.
So
anytime,
a
form
is
canceled
or
completed.
This
power
automate
was
from
will
run,
I,
go
ahead
and
check
and
see
if
the
selection
is
yes
and
then
I
run
that
power
automate
and
after
that,
I
just
submit
the
form.
A
A
This
is
the
second
power
app,
and
so,
if
we
come
to
the
left,
I've
added
a
ferry
notification
step,
because
for
my
company,
these
emails
are
not
being
sent
from
my
account.
They're
sent
from
a
user
account.
So
just
in
case
of
anything
in
the
or
any
step
in
the
approval
process
goes
wrong.
I
would
like
to
be
notified
about
it
and
go
to
the
right
hand.
Side
I've
created
a
condition
to
where
that
if
the
outcome
is
equal
to
approved,
we
have
approved
steps.
A
So
first
I
send
the
approved
notification
to
the
submitter,
basically
letting
them
letting
them
know
that
their
request
has
been
approved.
Then
able
to
get
this
hyperlink
within
the
SharePoint
list,
which
is
a
feature
of
info
pad,
so
come
back
and
then
I
also
enter
the
third
power
app,
because
this
is
the
analyst
power
app
with
a
third
deep
link:
URL.
A
A
But
on
the
right
hand,
side
I
have
another
condition
of
where
I
send
the
tech
support
email.
When
an
item
is
signed
to
them
or
the
campus
service
email
and
at
the
bottom,
that's
where
I
provide
the
URL
to
their
respective
pages,
please
call
back
up
and
then
there
it
is
okay,
and
so
this
is
all
when
an
approved,
a
request
has
been
approved.
A
B
Christian
awesome
job
really
well
thought
out
tons
of
comments
in
the
chat,
I
think
there's
some
questions
in
there
as
well.
I
will,
let
you
take
a
look
at
that
really
well
done.
I
was
thinking
that
when
you
do
have
Darth
Vader
and
there's
a
laptop
problem
and
someone's
needed
to
send
back
their
laptop,
it
should
automatically
say
this
laptop
has
failed
me
for
the
last
time
when.
