In this example we open the PowerApp with a Parameter (“goto”)
to navigate to the Screen for adding a new item.
The trigger here is the string value “newsp”.

5. Create Apple Shortcut 1/2
1. In Shortcuts click ‘+’
2. Name the Shortcut
3. Select [Categories]-[Web]
4. Double click [Open URLs]

6. Create Apple Shortcut 2/2
1. Add the link above with your
App-ID
2. Done
ms-apps:///providers/Microsoft.PowerApps/apps/<YourApp-ID>?goto=newsp
In some cases Safari tried to find
my shortcut name in the internet.
Try another, more specific name!
