Making personalised update info buttons using a formula record field and automations

[francis_Lister]

Hi,

I want to use record specific webhooks to automate when people click a personalised link related to their own data that record is updated.

Click external link > record updated > email sent

The code I have is

CONCATENATE(“https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/[etc etc]”,"?RecordID=",RECORD_ID(),"&M=TRUE")

Which creates the URL

https://hooks.airtable.com/workflows/v1/[etc etc]?RecordID=BLAH&&M=TRUE

I want to put this into a button to click but nothing works. IF I put it into a browser it doesn’t do anything.

What am I missing here? Do I have to do something like MAILTO:HTTPS …

Custom Webhook To call a third party webhook (outgoing webhooks) use one of the HTTP modules. Any application that is connected to the Internet and a

After Integromat receives your information, you could then send that information onto Airtable from there.
