I want to build a “Send iMessage” button into my interface, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to work.



I have a {Phone} field, so generating a link to send an iMessage is easy enough with this formula:



IF(


  {Phone},


  SUBSTITUTE(


    CONCATENATE("iMessage://", {Phone}), " ", "")


)


This works great as a button in the regular Airtable interface. Can it be made to work in an interface?



If not, consider this a feature request. 🙂

Hi @Tim_Wilson ,


Are you unable to choose your existing button field and place it on an interface page? I think that the button element validates URL schemes, so it might not let you use imessage://

Ah, yes, that works! I was trying to make the Button element do the job. Thanks!

Yeah, it’s very confusing because Airtable offers 2 different types of buttons, each with different functionality.
