PowerApps Deep Linking - Send a direct link to a specific record/screen in your app with parameters

In this video, you will learn how to create and send dynamic deep links inside your Power Apps app. Through parameters you can send users to specific screens with preloaded data. A very fun concept.

Was just wondering how to do this earlier today, so the timing was perfect! Great video as always!

Great stuff as always Shane. Just added this functionality to one of my customer's apps and they love it!

A great, useful and easy to follow video. Thanks for taking the time to make it the right length to understand. Almost solves my use case - just trying to add in a validation step / dynamic content so that the user can't predict the URL and get access to other people's data (and also hide the navigation control so that they are stuck in the details screen). Some great steps to get me there faster.

God bless you loads Shane Young. I followed your tutorial and was able to DeepLink a complicated system. Thanks man, you rock!

[tenisviejos]

As usual, thanks for such a great video. I already implemented deep linking in some of my apps, but I'll use the information from your video to improve the way these links work. Keep it up!
PS: OMG I LOVE THE HIDENAVBAR PARAMETER! THANK U!

I just set this up on a super complex app I created for a Data Sharing Mechanism form that stores all the information, including metadata regarding PII, customer, configuration, etc. in a SharePoint list as a common data source for all of our company data shares and feeds. Thousands! Now I can send them the link to the item to put into the Service request that this form is tied to. I will automate that one day with Flow. I was worried that varRecord in the App start would mess up where I use it to use one edit form for 3 galleries. Since the id doesn't exist or = 0 at that point it works! Thank you! This feature was requested on during the final release meeting with 100 IT users and managers. You helped me nail the scope creep! Thanks Shane!

Thank you Shane for this and your other videos. Very helpful! The deep link is indeed a fun concept.
The only thing to maybe emphasize is that if you're doing some things on the gallery's on select button, they won't be done when using deep link. Need to think about that.
Another thing that I had to spend a lot of time to figure out the problem was that user().full name brought me different values when logged in directly to the app or via email (deep link). Not sure if it has to do with the settings in our company or with PowerApps.

You are the best!!!! Solved my problem!!! In my case I just change 2 things.

NOTE: I will use here the same vars from your example (just to get the reference =]):

1) Create a varGallery to create the same Filter that I have in my gallery
2) After the varEmpID, in the IF command, I use If(!IsBlank(Param("ChewyID")) && varEmpID in varGallery.ID

With this option we can avoid to get access for another user in IDs that He/She shouldn't to see.

This was what I needed to sell Power Apps to management. With it now working, who knows.

Thanks Shane
