PowerApps in CRM 2016 (Microsoft Dynamics 365)

Let us quickly create a PowerApp that allows a user to create Contact record inside CRM (using Microsoft Flow).

• Login to PowerApps with Office 365 Account

https://web.powerapps.com/home

• Click on New app

• Let us use PowerApps studio for Windows here (much easier to use then PowerApps for web)

• Select a Blank App (Phone Layout)

• Insert Text Box, Text Box Input and Button controls and apply Theme

• Select Add to CRM button and select Flow in Action menu to connect with the flow.

• Create a new Flow

• Search for PowerApps

• Select Add an action

• Select “Create new a record” Action and select Contacts in Entity Name.
• For Last Name field, click on “Ask in PowerApps” which will add a new field to be mapped inside PowerApps

• Do same for mobile phone field

• Click on Create flow to create the flow

• Now back in PowerApps, select the newly created flow.

• Specify formula to map the fields

• Run the application

• Specify the values for Last Name and mobile number and click on Add to CRM button.

• This creates the contact record in CRM using the Flow defined.

• We can save the app in cloud and the share it with the other users inside the org.

• Click on Share (Enter name or email addresses of the users with whom we’d like to share the app)

• App being published

• Once Published, it would be available to the other users.

Hope it helps..
