In this hands-on lab we want to make a Power App which should be an app for attendees of a conference.
- show list of sessions,
- rate sessions and submit this feedback,
- monitor a hashtag on twitter.
As we use different data sources to make this app, it is a good idea to understand the data model first.
- Sessions come from an Outlook calendar, we will use the Office 365 Outlook connector to get events
- tweets come from twitter, we will use the twitter connector
(as we don't want to rebuild a whole twitter client in Power Apps, we will just read tweets and add a feature to open twitter on web / app to like, reply, retweet
session ratings shall be posted into a CDS entity
- Home Screen,
- Sessions Screen,
- Session Ratings Screen,
- Twitter Screen
- Success Screen
To be able to build this app, you will need the following:
-
Microsoft Developer Tenant,
-
Power Apps License, which can be:
-
Community Plan (free),
-
30 day free trial.
-
-
Twitter Account
-
an Outlook calendar with 3 events in the (near future) containing a title and a (short description) to diplay in our app. I chose events from MSBuild conference, but you can do something else as well.
As we do the Bootcamp in the Microsoft Community Events tenant and you do the lab in your developer tenant (and you will probably need/want to have your main work tenant open as well) it is a good idea to have different profiles in your browser for the different tenants.
You can now proceed to the next section: Prepare your Lab
