I need to build an app which has a button, when clicked earn 5 points everyday. User can click only once per day and earn 5 points. These points should be stored in sharepoint backend.

This app should be hosted in a sharepoint online site, where the above powerapp should load as a popup on loading of the sharepoint homepage. May i know how to achieve this?

You won't be able to have it opening as a popup when the SharePoint site loads, it will need to be a Power Apps web part embedded in the homepage.

To build a daily reward app using Microsoft Power Apps and SharePoint Online:

Points Logic
Store data in a SharePoint list (User, Points, LastClaimDate)
On button click:

Add 5 points if not claimed today

Block if already claimed

Disable button after daily claim

App Hosting

Embed app using Power Apps Web Part in SharePoint

Simulate popup inside app using variables

For real popup → use SPFx (advanced)

Hi,

If having a pop-up as a key requirement, from SharePoint Online, you can't open it as a pop-up, maybe have a button in the SharePoint page with a link to open the Power App in a new window ( though it will open the Power App service to open the app )

If you want a seamless experience, I would recommend building with SPFx.

Tip: if the transaction volume is not huge, SharePoint as a data layer is fine; if the transaction volume is higher, I would recommend using Dataverse

Reach out to me if you want more clarification or features for building a reward system

@Iantaylor2050 I did a quick mockup of an app to collect the points. When going into the app for the first time today this is what the user sees.

The App OnStart is ClearCollect(colPoints, '5Points')

The DisplayMode for the button is currently edit as this user hasn't clicked the button today.

The DisplayMode property is as follows:

If(!IsEmpty( Filter(colPoints, And(Submitted = Today(), Title=User().Email))), DisplayMode.Disabled, DisplayMode.Edit )

But when the user clicks the button the patch function saves the record to the SharePoint list, collects the collection again, sets the DisplayMode of the button to Disabled and adds a message that the user has collected points today.

The OnSelect of the button is:

IfError( Patch('5Points', Defaults('5Points'), { Title: User().Email, Submitted: Today(), Points: 5 } ); Refresh('5Points'); ClearCollect(colPoints, '5Points'), Notify("The points could not be saved, please try later", NotificationType.Error, 3000), Notify("Points saved", NotificationType.Success, 3000))

The gallery only displays the current user's points with:

Sort(Filter(colPoints, Title=User().Email), Submitted, SortOrder.Descending)

And I've added a total with:

"Total: "&Sum(galPoints.AllItems, Points)&" points".

The SharePoint list is as follows:

Then, as I mentioned before, add the Power Apps web part to the SharePoint page.

Hope that helps.
