First question I have asked on Stackoverflow and looking for some advice/ help.

I am using Powerapps to provide a front end that will allow the end users to search for a document and then be able to see it/ open it.

I am sure it is possible but I just can't see it at the moment. Essentially I wan't whatever they put in the search box to append the url.

For example:

https://example.com/documents/"searchinput".pdf

Obviously I want the "searchinput" part to be whatever they input in the text field but I am not sure how to complete this in Power Apps.

Any help is appreciated!

Note the name of the text input box where you enter your search input ( you can find it under tree view at left side of Powerapps screen).

Now create a HTML text option which can be found at Insert->Text.

After creating one, you will have a property HtmlText enter "Check PDF" or any instruction for the end user you wish to provide.

Then go for OnSelect property and enter

Launch( "https://example.com/documents/" & "text_input_box_name" & ".pdf")
