Link in E-Mail to fire an Action

Is it possible to include a Link in an E-Mail Workflow Template that fires an Action? Right now I include a Link that opens the Detail View of a row and the user can click on the Action โ€œcompletedโ€. But I would like to fire the Action right out of the E-Mail, so that the user does not have to open the App.

You can set a datetime column in your sheet and record NOW() value in that column for a particular row with AppSheet API which will also triggee that action button.

@Levent_KULACOGLU Could you explain a little bit more please? Iโ€™m sorry, but I donโ€™t understand.

@Fabian, @LeventK, did you work this one out? i studied:
https://help.appsheet.com/en/articles/1980031-invoking-an-action
i have a link:
https://api.appsheet.com/api/v2/apps/cad41c55-8623-4549-ac81-c989d0129f84/tables/HRF16%20WEEKLY%20WE...
and i know the JSON body below works in a report in the same APP where Reaction is WEBHOOK works fine but would not comply with the above article:

{
โ€œActionโ€: โ€œEditโ€,
โ€œPropertiesโ€: {
โ€œLocaleโ€: โ€œen-AUโ€,
โ€œLocationโ€: โ€œ47.623098, -122.330184โ€,
โ€œTimezoneโ€: โ€œAUS Eastern Standard Timeโ€,
โ€œRunAsUserEmailโ€: โ€œesosurveyors.com.au@gmail.comโ€
},
โ€œRowsโ€: [
{
โ€œLine #โ€: โ€œ<<[Line #]>>โ€,
โ€œDATE REPORTED TO PAYROLLโ€: โ€œ<<CONCATENATE(INDEX(LIST(โ€œSunโ€, โ€œMonโ€, โ€œTueโ€, โ€œWedโ€, โ€œThuโ€, โ€œFriโ€, โ€œSatโ€), WEEKDAY(DATE(NOW()))),โ€ โ€œ,if(len(concatenate(DAY(NOW()),โ€"))=1,โ€œ0โ€,""),DAY(NOW()),"/",if(len(concatenate(MONTH(NOW()),""))=1,โ€œ0โ€,""),MONTH(NOW()),"/",YEAR(NOW())," โ€œ,concatenate(if(len(concatenate(HOUR(TIME(NOW())-โ€œ00:00:00โ€),โ€"))=1,โ€œ0โ€,""),HOUR(TIME(NOW())-โ€œ00:00:00โ€)),":",concatenate(if(len(concatenate(MINUTE(TIME(NOW())-โ€œ00:00:00โ€),""))=1,โ€œ0โ€,""),MINUTE(TIME(NOW())-โ€œ00:00:00โ€)))>>"
},
]
}
==========================================]
according to the article i have to say this instead:
โ€œActionโ€: โ€œEXECUTE CLIENT APPROVE ACTION SEQUENCEโ€,

what i cannot work out is:
where do i configure in the APP
the reaction Webhook JSON body
to an email recipient clicking the above link?

and
the link specified Slice HRF16%20WEEKLY%20WEDNESDAY%200h%20TO%20TUESDAY%2024h selects the correct rows,
and โ€œActionโ€: โ€œEXECUTE CLIENT APPROVE ACTION SEQUENCEโ€, specified the actions and columns i want changed,
so:
what is the correct โ€œRowsโ€ statements i need to make?

thanks, Team.
