Custom ribbon button on Activity view

Posted on by 4
Hi,
I am having an issue with adding a custom ribbon button on an Activity view. Ideally we need the button to appear either when viewing a list of Activities (entity=activitypointer) or a list of Letters (entity=letter), and then only be visible when one or more Letters are selected.
 
We have tried several things:
1. Using Ribbon Workbench, add a button to either the 'activitypointer' entity or the 'letter' entity - in both cases, the button just doesn't appear on the toolbar.
2. Using Power Apps command designer, add a Command to the Activities table main grid command bar - in this case, the button appears, but then disappears as soon as a record is selected. Other articles say you must add an Enable Rule, but in this case, the button doesn't appear in Ribbon Workbench nor in customizations.xml - without that, we don't see how to add an Enable Rule, nor the needed visibility rules.
 
Has anyone done this successfully, and any pointers on how to do this?

    Quick update - we resolved this by using the Power Apps Command Bar editor, and adding a simple PowerFx enable rule of 'true', which then caused the button to remain visible even when records were selected.
