Hi. I am a journalist and I use WhatsApp to contact many interviewees that I will only talk to once, and I don’t want to add them to my address book. I created a simple app in which I put his or her phone number and link it with the API address to open a conversation with him or her, after pressing a button. How can I make it so that after this action the number is deleted? I would like to share the application with the community, but this way the last number used would be public. Is there a way to do this on the fly, without the number having to be saved in a cell?
I have tried an action to delete the line after opening the link, but even if I put this action afterwards, it loads it before the link is opened.
If you store the number in a user specific column, and make the app public without sign in, then the number will disappear as soon as you close the app.
If I was to take a guess, then I’d say it’s probably because the table doesn’t contain any rows.
Is this a Glide table? If you add a RowID column, a single row will be automatically added, and that’s all you need.
If that’s not it, then a screenshot or two would be useful. One that shows what you have in the data editor, and another that shows your screen/component layout.
Thank you. It’s the simplest app that I’ve made, but I’ve never worked with ‘user specific’ columns. It works for me, but I want to share with colleagues and need to fix that.
You were absolutely right that I was confusing the concepts. I re-created the columns as user specific and it works just as I wanted it to. Thank you very much!
