I would like to send out an email through automation and share a link to a specific record in an Interface. Is this possible?

Yes. Just copy/paste the URL (there’s an “=recx…” at the end that refers to the record). Bear in mind that people have to have access to your base before you can share interfaces. Otherwise, they’ll get a “ask access” message.
But how to enable people to get directly to a record within the Interface by clicking the link received by email sent by automation ?

Hi Nikola, in case you are still looking for an answer to this, it can be found here
Seems like the URL has changed since this post. Anyone knows how the link should look like today?
Hey
What do you mean that the url has changed?
You will want to follow these steps:
1. Open your interface.
2. Expand the record detail of any record within such interface.
- If you are working on a Record Review page of your interface, then jusIt clicking on any record will be enough.
- If you are working on a different page layout, then this might be different. E.g. you are working with a list view, with access to record details, then you will want to make sure that you are allowing for full screen detail page rather than just side panel. Click on a specific record to get the detail page.
3. You’ll see the url on your browser change.
4. Copy this new url.
5. Paste it somewhere, and see how it should now include a record id within the url.
E.g.
https://airtable.com/appxxxx/pagxxxx/receGxg2vVb2Vi1PT?home=pagxxxxx
In the above example, receGxg2vVb2Vi1PT is the record id for the record expanded on such moment.
On your base on the table corresponding to the record you’ll want to have the following formula:
"https://airtable.com/appxxxx/pagxxxx/"&RECORD_ID()&"?home=pagxxxxx"
You will obviously want to replace the url with that of your own, but in addition to that you will want to make sure to replace the specific and static record id, with Airtable’s formula for RECORD_ID() which will make the url dynamic for each record.
Is this helpful? Otherwise please make sure to grab a slot using this link and I’ll show you around in five minutes. Happy to help out.

Btw, what page layout are you using? That will provide some further context.

I understood from another thread that my problem was I used the record view on the right side and not the full page view. I changed to full page view and now I found an URL that works. The URL formula works fine what IO can see.
Thank you for the help!
Yes
Exactly my point under “you will want to make sure that you are allowing for full screen detail page rather than just side panel”. I’m glad you figured this out!
