Updating a record field by clicking on a link

Posted by ithrees on 22-Jan-2015 02:45

Hi All,

Is there any way I can generate a link from a portal or any other to update a specific record's field by clicking that link?

For example, I have a situation to get the confirmation from a list of people in my app. So I'll share this link via mail(different for each) by including the URL and once they click on the URL it should update the specific record's field to yes.

Thanks in advance,
Ithrees

Hello,

I believe this is not possible without adding a script in the landing page of that link and using an rbf_setFieldValue() method to update that record's field to "yes". You can add an extra parameter in the url's link that will check if the rbf_setFieldValue() needs to be run.

Thank you,
Gian

It is best to use Workflow Action to update record's state. Workflow Action can be represented by link, button, or template token.

You can send the URL’s by e-mail… when accessing the page, the viewed flag is updated.
 
 
Create a checkbox field called Viewed (my example: Leads object).
 
 
On portal page, click Properties:
 
 
Add the code  rbf_setField("lead", "{!id}", "viewed", "true", "no");  to onload event handler:
 
 
Access the portal page:
 
The viewed flag was updated:

Ricardo
