Trigger action on opening a row

[Pratyay_Rakshit]

This is for building an inbox mechanism.

I want to change a column value when a specific row is clicked and opened.

Theres an action mechanism that triggers when a ‘row is selected’ but implementing it that way led the row to be clickable but not ‘open’-able.

Whats the way around this?

Not sure how to trigger when opening a form, but from detail view you could trigger it from a quick edit of a column. Could that work as a workaround for you?

In-App Messaging w/AppSheet Tips & Tricks 💡

I have once promised to deploy how in-app messaging can be done within an AppSheet app. For a long time I couldn’t be able to find some free time to build the app, but here it’s for your review and use. I’m still playing with the app build to fine tune it, so you might experience possible bugs or non-working parts in between my tweakings. The app is using slices as per USEREMAIL(), so in order to test the functionality, please add yourself as a USER first. Hope you like it FEATURES C…

Why don’t you assign a behavior of “Grouped: execute a sequence of actions” to the Row Selected event?

Action#1 | Data: set the values of some columns in this row | Change the desired column’s value
Action#2 | App: Goto another view within this app | where target is set with anyone of the desirable Deep Link expressions.
Action#3 | Grouped: execute a sequence of actions | Actions: Action#1, Action#2

• Actions’ prominence shall be set to No Display
• Assign Action#3 as the Row selected behavior
