Declarative Passing of URL Parameters

TeamDesk supports the declarative passing of URL parameters from the browser’s navigation bar into the web-to-record form. Therefore, you can simply add the following to the end of your web-to-record form URL:

fid_<column-id>={{url:<parameter-name>}}

Where column-id is the identifier of the column, which can be found in the browser’s URL while viewing column properties in the setup section.

<parameter-name> is a URL parameter from which to retrieve the value.

For Example

Suppose you’ve created a "Feedback" table in your database, which includes two reference columns: "WorkshopID," referring to the Workshops table, and the "Email" column, referring to the Participants table.

You want to collect workshop feedback from a participant. This feedback should be collected via a web-to-record form and registered as a record in the "Feedback" table. The web-to-record form can be embedded on your website or kept as an HTML file in the database resources. Let’s call this page the Feedback page.

The idea is to send each participant the Feedback page URL, which includes WorkshopID and Email of the participant. As a result, when a participant clicks on the received URL, these values (WorkshopID and Email) will be automatically inserted into the corresponding fields of the Feedback form.

For example, the following URL:

redirects a participant to this Feedback form:

As you can see, the values from the URL are inserted into the "Email" field and the "WorkshopID" field, respectively.

Below is the modified web-to-record form script used in the example:

To generate a Feedback page URL for each participant, you can create a Formula-URL column. In the provided example, we use the following formula:

The Formula-URL column can be displayed in a table view. As a result, you can copy the URLs you need or open a necessary Feedback form by clicking on a corresponding URL.
