In Pages I have created a community forum. When a person posts a new topic, the form (of course) creates a new row that has fields like “title” “body” etc. This is a post. The forum page displays a collection that lists in chronological order all of the posts and then when a user clicks on a post in that list, they go to a detail page (I.e. the “Show Detail Screen” action) that shows the entire post and any replies to the post. When a new post is created, or someone comments on the post, I wanted moderators and others to be notified by email. So I have created a custom action that, upon form submit, triggers a zap that emails a moderator and also those who have turned on email notifications whenever a post or comment is posted. So here’s my question. In the email notification, I would like to be able to include a link to the actual “post”…basically a deep link to the detail screen/page for the post. For comments to an existing post, this is easy, because the post/page already exists so I can create a link to that using the" link to current screen." since the user is on that screen when commenting. However, what I can’t figure out…and it may not be possible…is how to create a link to the initial post. When the user submits the form that creates the post, of course the entry does not yet exist. Any ideas on how I might create a custom action that after the submission of the form, captures the link to the just created row/post/page so that it can be fed through the zap to the notification email? ---

Each post should have the same base URL except for the end which is the ROW ID of the post. So I would try to take the deep link of any post, create a Template column, replace the current Row ID with “ROWID” and then substitute “ROWID” with the Row’s ID. Hope thats not confusing. Example: YourURL.glide.page/dl/home/s/5a567a/s/3ddb6b/r/ROWID Every time a new row is added the deep link is automatically created, which you can then add to your email. ---

Oh nice! I never really examined the URL structure. That should work! ---
