Replacing InfoPath/Task List with PowerApps/Sharepoint List

I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction.


We're looking at replacing an InfoPath form that submits to a SharePoint 2010 "Tasks" list and are hoping to use PowerApps in some capacity. We have a group of users that will have a Team site, but we would like to expose one of those Team Site pages to the rest of the user-base so that they can submit a "task" that will be followed-up on and completed.


My question is, would it be better to add the "Tasks" app to the Team Site in conjunction with PowerApps, or to use PowerApps and a custom SharePoint List?

    Brandon McGinnis bit confused with your question, your initial question was to replace infopath form with powerapp, but at the end you are asking about linking powerapp with task list or custom list.

      Shijuraj -- I apologize for the confusion, the initial statement is just for background, and my initial idea of using a PowerApp to replace an InfoPath form.

        Bumping this as hopefully someone has had to migrate a Sharepoint 2010 InfoPath Form/Task List to SPOnline.

         

        My idea is to embed a PowerApp in one of the communication sites for submission. And then that department's team site would house the data and allow the users to assign tasks to themselves and complete them.

        Has anyone done something like this or setup a "Work Request Queue" in SPOnline?
