Transform Embedded Canvas Power App into Pop-Up

Hello,

I'm working with an embedded Canvas Power App in Dynamics 365 for Sales (a model-driven Power App). The embedding works fine, but I would like to switch it to a pop-up dialog. I can create a button and call the app without a problem, but I don't know what parameters to pass to get the ModelDrivenFormIntegration to work.

Is there a way to do this?

Here is my attempt to pass the URL and parameters using the Ribbon Workbench:

Thank you!

I have a bad feeling you might have to rewrite it if you no longer want to embed it (if you mean embedded it by connecting it to a field on the form). As I recall, an embedded app can't be transferred to a regular powerapp and vice versa. So, when I built my most recent app, I made it a regular PowerApp that I could call to open in a window/tab. Then when the users wanted to embed it into the form instead, I just turned it into an iframe (to which I passed the parameters using javascript).

You won't be ModelDrivenFormIntegration from ribbon so passing parameter as URL is the right way to do it.

If you convert the app to a Custom Page instead of a Canvas App you can embed it or you can use it as a pop-up. You should be able to copy and paste the controls across to the Custom Page from the Canvas App you have to get there. Passing the right parameters for the custom page is then done with javascript and is limited to the entityname and recordid.
