Can I get URL for specific screen of Power Apps app?

Yes, you can get a URL for a specific screen in a Power Apps app using deep linking. Deep linking allows you to pass parameters in the app's URL, enabling navigation to a specific screen when the app loads.

Steps to Create a URL for a Specific Screen:

1. Identify the Screen Name:

   • Note the name of the screen you want to navigate to (e.g., Screen1).

2. Use the App.StartScreen Property:

   • Starting from December 2022, you can use the App.StartScreen property to determine which screen to show when the app starts.
   • Example formula:

     
     If(
         Param("screen") = "Screen1",
         Screen1,
         If(
             Param("screen") = "Screen2",
             Screen2,
             DefaultScreen
         )
     )
     

3. Generate the URL:

   • Append a query parameter to the app’s URL in the format ?screen=ScreenName.
   • Example:

     
     https://apps.powerapps.com/play/<App-ID>?screen=Screen1
     

4. Share the URL:

   • Share the generated URL with users. When they click it, the app will navigate directly to the specified screen.

5. Optional: Pass Additional Parameters:

   • You can pass more parameters to the URL, such as:

     
     https://apps.powerapps.com/play/<App-ID>?screen=Screen1&userID=123
     

   • Retrieve these parameters using the Param() function.

Important Notes:

• Ensure that the logic in App.StartScreen covers all possible screens.
• Users must have access to the app to open the specific screen.
• Deep linking works only in canvas apps, not model-driven apps.
