đź‘‹ Need Help: URL Parameters Not Extracting on Published App

Ask for Help
1

Hi all — I’m working on a public Glide app where I want to use a shared link like this:

I’ve followed the deep link pattern where:

  • I have a Deep-Link-Host table with just one row
  • It has a “Get part of URL” column extracting id from the query string (with the URL field left blank)
  • I use that extracted id to create a relation to my Quotes table
  • I show data via lookups from that relation

:test_tube: The Problem :

No matter what I try, the “Get part of URL” column stays blank — even when I open the published app with a valid ?id= in the URL (yes, in incognito mode). I even tested with other parameters (?test=abc123) and still get nothing.

:white_check_mark: My screen is:

  • Based on the Deep-Link-Host table
  • Set as a tab in the published app
  • The table has one row
  • I’m testing only in the published app, not in the builder

Still, nothing is extracted from the URL.

Has anyone seen this before or have a working example I can compare with? Any idea what I might be missing?

Thanks so much!

How were you able to determine this?
The only way to tell for sure is to add some sort of text component to the screen that displays the value in that column. Have you done that as a check?

I don’t have a template, but I did make a video that’s related to this topic a couple of years ago…

Yes, I did put a text component on the screen that contained the value of the “Get part of URL” column. It stayed blank no matter what I tried.
