Building in Glide and keep getting this error message: the app \*\*\*\*\*\* failed with the following error:Invalid URL The first failing step failed with: Invalid URL. Users need to access an external web page that requires their user ID and email as URL parameters.

**My setup:**

- Web Embed component

- Need to pass current user’s Row ID and Email to external URL

- External page expects: [`https://example.com/page?userId=ABC123&email=user@email.com`](https://example.com/page?userId=ABC123&email=user@email.com)

**Current attempt:**

- URL: [`https://example.com/page?userId=[RowID]&email=[Email]`](https://example.com/page?userId=%5BRowID%5D&email=%5BEmail%5D)

- **Problem:** Getting literal text `[RowID]` instead of actual user data

What’s the correct syntax to dynamically insert current user’s Row ID and Email into a Web Embed URL? I’ve tried various bracket combinations but still getting literal text instead of user data. Any help appreciated!

Use a Template column.

An alternative is the Construct URL column.
