Power FX Confirm function for canvas apps in Power Apps

Original Description

Stop rebuilding confirmation popups from scratch in Power Apps. The new Power Fx Confirm function lets you generate a clean confirmation dialog in seconds, with optional title, subtitle, and custom button labels, then plug the result straight into an If statement to run your action only when the user confirms. In this video, Helen Delin shows how Confirm replaces the old container-and-variables approach, how to customize the dialog, and how to wire it into real app logic. You will see two practical examples: confirming a record delete with a success notification, and prompting users before sending an email when the subject line is blank. Helen also covers the key requirement to use Confirm, modern controls and themes must be enabled, plus the current limitations like fixed two-button behavior and limited styling control. 👉 On-Demand Learning - Start With The FREE Community Plan: https://prag.works/odl-trial-yt 🔗Pragmatic Works On-Demand Learning Packages: https://pragmaticworks.com/pricing/ 🔗Pragmatic Works Boot Camps: https://pragmaticworks.com/boot-camps/ 🔗Pragmatic Works Hackathons: https://pragmaticworks.com/private-training/hackathons/ 🔗Pragmatic Works Virtual Mentoring: https://pragmaticworks.com/virtual-mentoring/ 🔗Pragmatic Works Enterprise Private Training: https://pragmaticworks.com/private-training/customized-enterprise-training/ 🔗Pragmatic Works Blog: http://blog.pragmaticworks.com/ 00:00 Why Confirm beats manual popups 00:22 The old way, containers, variables, and buttons 01:22 Why manual popups take time to maintain 02:03 The new Confirm function, simplest form 02:38 What the default dialog looks like 03:01 Customize options, title, subtitle, button text 04:41 Demo, customized Confirm dialog 05:02 Make it functional, wrap Confirm in an If 06:15 Test, cancel does nothing, confirm deletes and notifies 06:54 Requirement, enable modern controls and themes 07:12 Example 2, confirm sending an email without a subject 10:10 Limitations and when a cu
