Hi, I am trying to create a "Click Here" link in my PDF template as per a post I saw @Steve create, which I can't find now, because I didn't bookmark it.

I posted it into the Expression assistant to check that it was working, which it says it is but when I click the link in the PDF I get a 404 Page not found

I cannot see my error, can anyone else?

Apologies, I see it is trying to make hyperlinks in my post, not sure how to overcome this so you can see this as normal text?

Try this one:

HYPERLINK(
 CONCATENATE(
  "https://www.appsheet.com/start/a90a4f18-11e0-4ca5-9e2b-9484d3be2450",
  LINKTOROW(
   [MinutesID],
   "Minutes_Detail"
  )
 ),
 "Click here"
)

Thanks @SkrOYC.

 

Try this one:

HYPERLINK(
 CONCATENATE(
  "https://www.appsheet.com/start/a90a4f18-11e0-4ca5-9e2b-9484d3be2450",
  LINKTOROW(

   "Minutes_Detail"

 ),
 "Click here"

Awesome! Thank you!

Hello @SkrOYC I hope you are doing well.

I am still trying to wrap my head around this so I would like to find out,

<<HYPERLINK(CONCATENATE("https://www.appsheet.com/start/5a6050f0-254b-4ab7-a6e5-93ee700c2050",LINKTOROW([Personal_ID],"Personnel_Detail")),"Click here")>>

I utilised this in another app, but this time not in the template, but in the email body.

And while it returns the correct link, it doesn't show "Click Here"

https://www.appsheet.com/start/5a6050f0-254b-4ab7-a6e5-93ee700c2050#control=Personnel_Detail&row=f1569d70 

is what it returns.

Why is that?

Should work the same way because the AppSheet backend makes sure that the hyperlink is created and inserted.

You are using the same expression, right?

It's not the identical one you first shared because I want to point it to a different place, but it's the one I shared above. 

It created a link but doesn't show "Click here".

Shows the link. 

I tried to delete all the spaces in case that was the problem but didn't make a difference
