Try ShortPoint nowAfter reading this article, you will learn how to use ShortPoint to pass dynamic parameters to your PowerApps application.
Prerequisites:
1. You already added the PowerApps ShortPoint Element on your Page. Please follow this article to find out how to add your first PowerApps application to SharePoint.
2. You are logged in with your ShortPoint Designer Account.
STEP 1: Go to the Advanced Tab of Your Page Builder PowerApps Element
Scroll down and identify the Send Custom Parameters function box.
STEP 2: Compose the dynamic parameters
In the function box, return dynamic parameters following the example:
return 'userName=' + _spPageContextInfo.userLoginName + '&siteUrl=' + _spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl + 'appMode=view'
In the example, we send to the PowerApps application two dynamic parameters (userName and siteUrl) and one static parameter (appMode).
_spPageContextInfo is a SharePoint global variable containing context information regarding the current logged in user, current site, tenant information, etc. You can also use other custom javascript variables to pass dynamic parameters to your PowerApps applications.
An example list with the complete information stored in the _spPageContextInfo variable can be found below:
