Hi, I am trying to create an automation where in my application A I will have a link in calculation field, and when I click it the system will create a new item in application B and the user will be redirected to this newly created item.
In my application A I have “Link” and “Calculation” field
In App A I created an automation to create web link.
“On create” I want to run this automation to create web link, update “Link” field and use it in my calculation - but not sure why, it is not working.
Please advise what I am doing wrong.
Hi @Sandra
Depending on your ultimate use case here, another suggestion might be to utilize an automation that simply posts a comment in App A with the link to the newly created item in App B. See this previous thread with notes on how to achieve that: [✅ Solution] How to shortcut link to redirect to any item?
My preference is to use single select drop down fields as ‘triggers’ which run automations and then post these breadcrumb comments sending users to the newly created items. Maybe that would work for you here and save the steps of having to create a link via automation, return that link to the original record’s hidden link field, and then have a calc update to access that newly created link.
