Hi Lisa, Thanks for your clear explanation. I’ve a related question to the use of deep links. I’m trying to make a one-click url that references a comment (text element submitted via a form in a glide table). The intent is the url is texted to a recipient and the recipient can click that one url an…

Have those users logged in your app before? I believe that is the intended flow if you have an app that forces users to log in.

Thanks, yes, that’s part of the problem: users have the app installed, and they’ve already logged into it. When they click the deep link (from a text), instead of being directed to the intended item in the app, they are directed to the login page for the app. Again, I’m doing this from a Glide tabl…

why not just shorten the link with bit.ly? am I missing something?

I haven’t figured this out yet. What do you mean by “do it on a mobile device” and nit in the glide editor? I will use the editor to create the action then Zapier will send an email. What part will I do from the mobile device?

[image] Lisa: To test this, make sure you do it on a mobile device so that the deep link captured is the page itself. If you do it within Glide, you won’t get the deep link, but a link to the GDE. When you capture and generate the deep link from the the app editor, then you get the wrong link…

If you’re saying you don’t have a Row ID for your dataset (comments) then that could be the issue. I didn’t think you could properly use deep links without Row IDs added.

@Lisa Remembering something @George_B told me a while back. I believe Glide Tables have a built in RowID by default, so I’m guessing you can get away with no visible Row ID column in a Glide Table (but add it if you choose). It’s a Google Sheet that would require it to be added. Not sure if that …

Good memory @Jeff_Hager , that is the case. I do sometimes forget myself and sometimes have to catch myself before I advise people they need the Row ID when they are using a Glide Table. It can be handy to see it however in the Data view especially if you are using that table as a parent table in a r…

When you capture and generate the deep link from the the app editor, then you get the wrong link. It’s the link to the editor, which you don’t want. Instead you should call the action when using the published version of the app, so the deep link that is generated, is the correct one.
