Hi there!

I use Glide a lot for marketing automation (forms for example).  
I know want to add url parameters to the url of a page to pass on data from marketing campaigns and automations.

Is there a way to read URL parameters without pushing a button? (I know with the push of a button that I can get the current page’s URL).

Thank you!

> Hello. I need to pass some parameter to glide app. How can this be done, for example, through a URL or in another way? Without zapier or similar services, I need a free and easy way to pass a parameter to the application, like this: [https://simple-soap-1.glideapp.io/?var=111](https://simple-soap-1.glideapp.io/?var=111) How to get this “var” parameter from the application?

Wow, get part of url works on the current’s screen URL?  
This is awesome! Now I can pass lot’s of data from external apps just through the link.  
This is cool for email automations.
