Most Glide builders know how to display data.
But are you turning that data into actions?
Here’s a smart trick you’re probably not using enough:
Build Actionable Links with the Template Column
Want a button that opens WhatsApp with a pre-filled message?
Use this URL template:
https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=[phone-number]&text=[text]
In Glide, do this with a Template column:
Set the base template with placeholders
Add dynamic replacements from your data
[Screenshot example from editor]
→ Contact Phone replaces [phone-number]
→ Message Text replaces [text]
Use Cases:
CRM: Contact clients instantly
Support: One-tap WhatsApp replies
Pro Tip: Combine with If–Then–Else logic to personalize message content per role, language, or app status.
This approach transforms static info into smart interactions—without a single line of code.
