A Link to Record on Export
J

In each record popup, there's an option to "Copy Link" under the "Action Menu." Is there a way to have these "Links" populate on a field so that in the export, a user can click on each copied Link and navigate back to the individual record on SmartSuite?

Provide URL to the changed/new record

Add the full record URL to the API so that it can be easily used with Make or Zapier. Alternatively, at least all the necessary properties should be supplied by the API so that the URL can be assembled manually.
The current URL scheme looks like this?
These properties should all be supplied in the API. Alternatively, the complete URL for direct use.

Hey Frank Arnold, thanks for your feedback! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details on how you plan to use the full record URL with Make or Zapier?
- Are there any specific properties that you find are currently missing from the API?
- Would you prefer the complete URL for direct use or would you be comfortable assembling the URL manually if all necessary properties are provided?

Hey Jon
- l send me new tasks via Make and Gmail to Things 3 (my task manager). The URL is used in the body of the mail and appears as a comment in the task in Things 3. This is important to get from the task directly to Smartsuite and the record.
- only some basic data such as Solution ID or Profile ID is missing if you want to assemble the URL yourself.
- well, a typical workflow would be, that users save the link to the current record in another application to get from there directly to the record in Smartsuite. The full URL would be the easiest to use. Just like Airtable and others do. The solution ID or table ID etc is probably not really needed. You just need it to assemble the URL manually

+1 This would also expand the possibilities of smartsuite's REST API. And makes it able to send notifications (per email or whatever) linking to the actual record for easy access
