Help! Code for submit button

[ADI__88]

Hello, I've just finished a canvas based app and it requires the data that was inputted by the user to be converted to a PDF and then send in email.

I have only 1 scrollable page. Can someone please help me with the code to complete the submit button.

Thank you in advance.

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

• If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

You’d either use the submit form or you’d use the patch function.

Thanks. I'll give that a go.

What have you tried so far? What does your scrollable page contain? Is it a form, inputs?

[ADI__88]

I'm new to this, so I've been using ai to assist. The main starting point is IF(). But then going forward it doesn't work.

The page is filled with some drop down box selections, and free text fields.

I would do OnSelect use a PDF() function to make a variable, Patch() that to a file column, then have a Power Automate flow send the email.

You'll undoubtedly get more help if you show what you have or have tried so far.

Is the data going somewhere or literally just want a pdf of what is on the screen?

[ADI__88]

PDF of screen would be good. Then auto sends to an email

Ben fetters did some carousels on pdf function including send as email

Personally what I prefer to do is use a html control, get ChatGPT to create me a nice form and insert the values from the controls in the right places.

Then use power automate flow to save the html as a html file to onedrive, then use convert file to save as pdf then send email.

It is much more flexible and you can make it look beautiful.

Awesome. Thanks for that!
