hello - i created a button field that triggers an email via sendgrid integration. while this functionality is possible as a creator/internal user, it is not possible (i.e., button not clickable) when a shared view is generated and viewed as a non-internal user.

is there a way to allow non-internal users who view the shared view to click the button to generate the email?

Welcome to the Airtable community!

No, the only type of button field that works in shared views is a button that opens a url. You could have a button field that opens a form and when the user fills out the form the newly created record triggers your automation.

@j_c_pascasio Also, this is a bit more advanced to setup, but if you want to use an external automation service that supports SendGrid, you can have the button open the URL of a webhook in Make, which could then send an email using SendGrid.

Your scenario might look something like this:
