I am new to PowerApps. I have taken a spreadsheet that contains locations of our different billboards. In the spreadsheet, I have the link to see the webcam. However, in power apps it won't make that url as clickable. If I put a button, I cannot get it to open a webpage at all?

I am unsure if I am missing something. I have tried using function on click launch but it still isn't working right. I guess the first question I would have is can I actually use a button or a link that can be clicked to open a page? And if so, does it have to be a page in Sharepoint or can I use it to say open google.com?

  • Is the Launch function not working for you? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/canvas-apps/functions/function-param Can you post what formulas you've tried so far? – y2bd Jul 31 '20 at 20:00

You can launch an external site by setting the OnSelect property (say for a button) to :

Launch( "https://www.google.com/" )

You can also launch another canvas app:

Launch( "/providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/ <YOUR APP ID>" )

Or launch the default email app with the To: address filled

Launch("mailto:123@gmail.com")
