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 How to get this “var” …

[image] Deep links: Send parameter to the app URL Feature Requests I don’t foresee anything like url query parameters coming anytime soon, if at all. I’m also not privy to what Glide has planned for the future. About the closest thing you would have now is deeplinks for …

Can you tell me if there was a solution to this?

Edit: I was not aware of a solution to use the “Get part of URL” column on the “current URL of screen”. I tested and can be sure that the method works on Chromium/MacOS since the URL doesn’t get stripped. Once you get hold of the param, you can do more things with it. Hat tips to @Darren_Murphy .

Yes, here is an example: [CleanShot 2023-06-13 at 17.50.05@2x] Try it with the below App: [image] URL Parameter Passing ps. I should add that I actually learned this trick recently from @grumo :slight_smile:

Hmm, I remember trying that a year or two ago and the url would always refresh, so the query parameters wouldn’t stick. I had assumed that was still the case. Maybe it didn’t work with classic apps??? That’s awesome!

mmm, this is not something that I’d ever tried until just recently, so I couldn’t say for sure. But I did just quickly test it with a Classic App, and it does work. My guess would be that the behaviour probably changed when we switched to the NCM? :man_shrugging: [CleanShot 2023-06-13 at 19.01.45…

Could be. Lots of potential there.

Can you use this to filter records or information you are showing from a database? :eyes:

How would you do that? Does it give it as an option in the menu?
