I’m building a platform that allows users to search for and find the exact salon business they are looking for. Each salon business has its own unique profile page on my site. I would love to have a way for businesses to market/share their profile but I’m not sure if this is possible on Glide. I …

Great, thanks! I’ve added the button to my profiles and it works, but is there a way to hide the deep link and automate the hyper link name so that anyone can share it? Is that what Zapier does?

Others have used third party url shortening services. You can search the forum to find posts regarding that. It’s not a simple process though. Otherwise, you could try using a template column to wrap the url in <a href> html tags with a friendly name. But how well that works depends on how you i…

Hi Jeff! I dug through the forums and i couldn’t find anything that seemed to be a clear win?? I was wondering if you could explain your template solution a little more and i could try that out. I have never used ? The main purpose would be to share with other people via things like Text, Email, …

I would create a template column that looks like this: <a href="{URL}">{NAME}</a> Then set up replacements in the template column to replace {URL} with the column that contains the url, and replace {NAME} with the column that contain the friendly name for the url.

OK, I’m working on this now! So first I made a template that made the Salon Names URL friendly by removing the spaces. And then I started making the template you described and I’m stuck here: [image] I don’t know how to replace the URL because each individual salon has it’s own deep link. So ho…

If you don’t have deep link as a field already, you can structure an action like this on entry of the details view in your list. Show details view Set column: set the current screen’s link to a normal column in your data If you want to have beautiful links instead, the solution would be somewhat …

Hi Thinh, thank you for your additional info. Forgive me, but I’m still struggling to figure out how to get the deep link into a data column. So you’re saying i need to go to a profile page (which is in details view) and create an action (using an action button?) where i can send the info to a da…

You should have an inline list of profiles, and take advantage of any clicks on that inline list to generate a link for you. The action is executed when they view the profile in question.

Jeff, I’m still trying to work on this deep link to hyper link replacement. Can you still help me with this? I just created a deeplink column (not shown). I extracted the deeplink for the salons that are highlighted. I’m clearly not doing the replacements right bc the deep link isn’t hidden! Any…

They look okay - what do you see when you use that “Share Salon Template” column in a Rich Text component?

Is there a way to let businesses share their profile to the public?

While doing this with a google sheet would probably be easier, since you could probably have integromat or zapier handle the process, I think it might still be possible with glide tables. I honestly haven’t done any url shortening myself, so I can’t advise on an exact procedure. According to this thread below, it seems like it could be possible within Glide. Might be worth asking in some of those other threads to see if the people that have done it can answer your questions.
