Really too good Reza. Absolute time saver. ;-)

Such good timing on this video. Been working a solution today. Such good video. I have 1 question. When manager receives an approval, instead of daily check, how can you check 12hr or 24hr from initial approval request? Or X time from request's?

Hi Reza. Your videos are helping me a lot! Thanks for that. I have one question, my "person or group" column is defined as a table and I'm not sure how to apply the pushnotification function not using text. Do you have any suggestions?

[TheBananisen]

Brilliant thank you so much for sharing.❤ Which tool do you use for sharing the mobile device?

Hello Reza, i love your videos! I recently created an app with notification via Flow - however, when I now redeploy this app in a Solution into a new "Productive" environment for my colleagues, it of course reverts back to the "old" app and not the deployed app. How can i make that work when i deploy it into another environment?

[felipe_andrade]

incredible content. but I have a doubt. Due to the privacy policy I cannot use send push notification v2 only send push notification "v1", and I would like to know how to identify the powerapps application in v1 because I can only choose which application in version 2.

Thanks Reza for your wonderful video as usual!!! i created a push notification just following your steps and it was working perfect until i realized someone was left the company and their email address was disabled. when i see the run history the recipient email address is not recognized and flow failed. Any idea to fix the issue? Thanks!

[rochellenicholson]

Hi Rezza, great simple tutorial thanks. I have one issue, I have created a flow to send the notification. The message I have set in the flow does not show on the mobile phone notification that is received. We just get a standard Power Apps notification. Is this because the function is not available in New Zealand ????

[MartinWaechter]

Super great, flow is running.
How can I add a loop to find out the users who don't have access to the app - because at this point the flow stops. Background: My app has about 1000 users within a company tenant. Again and again employees leave the company and thus the mail address is deleted ... ultimately hangs the flow!!!

[gdlke]

Hello Reza, love your videos!! I have learned so much :-)! I got one question regarding the parameters you can forward to the user. I am triggering the Flow by App-A and want the User to open via Notification App-B. Everything works fine - except that i want to insert the parameters from App-A to the flow. But i can't figure out the right formular. e.g.: App-A gives an ID and another Value to the user, so the user opens up App-B on a specific screen with that ID. But the parameters are always empty :(. Do you have an idea?
ty in advance!

[saurabhgoel]

Hello Reza, amazing detailed video :-) Quick question please, can we create messenger app somewhat like whatsapp using powerapps?

[jonathansmith]

Hi Reza, great video, as usual 😀, i know we can't push notifications to apps used in browser. Any thoughts on a workaround for this?

[utubeaccount]

Hi Reza, again super interesting, but I actually want to have it display a toast notification in Windows 10/11 notification area. Any suggestions on that?

[gustavomonne]

Great video as always Reza!, I have a quick question: I tried to reproduce your flow but I only get a Standard POWER App Notification on the phone, the Name of the App or the message are not showing like you showed on the video, any thoughts as to why? Thanks

[sininv]

Hi Reza great. Is there a way to send notification for approval based on a column say if approver date approval complete has no completed date within 2 days to send? Thx

[tinakronborg]

Hi Reza. Again I'm using your very helpfull videos for making Power Apps - thanks!!🙏 Is it possible to send push notifications from an app made from Teams? I have struggled a lot and it keep giving me the message error; code; ApplicationNotFound, and that the application with the ID I provided it could not be found in the tenant and than a new sort of ID number, so I wonder if it is because I can't do it from Teams...?
