Deep link as cell value

General

Is it possible to write a link to the User’s current screen to a cell?

I have a feature in my App that copies a cell to clipboard. The contents of the cell is a set of information - football fixture, address and date, team selection etc App users copy this info to clipboard and send it manually via a WhatsApp message to many people. Along with that info I would like to include a link to the app screen.

I know how to stitch cell info together before copying to clipboard. The main ask is how to write the screen link into a cell.

You can add a URL column to your table, and populate it using the “Link to current screen” action.

I haven’t used this much, but I just did a quick test. If you have a Show Detail Screen action somewhere, you can modify that to do a Set Column Values after the Show Detail Screen action, setting the URL column value.

There is probably a better way to do it, but that seems to work reliably.

Coincidentally enough, I just created a tutorial this morning on deeplinking. I’ll post it in a bit.

Yeah, sometimes I post questions on here and other times I rely on Bob’s amazing mind reading abilities… :sunglasses:

Looking forward to the tutorial! Thank you in advance.
