create a button that will trigger email notification

There seem to be some extra characters in the middle.  The \n does not belong and you were missing an &



URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#] 

& "&_fid_208=1" 

& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])

Do I need the apptoken?

Below is what I have and I am receiving an error message:

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord&apptoken=kn75dwb4y6nhrdtb89z2cnv9ay4" & [Record ID#] &"& _fid_208=1"&"&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])

I suggest that you go into Settings and then Application Properties and uncheck the box which requires application tokens.

Then i suggest that you review the formula which I posted and use it instead of your formula.  You formula is missing the &rid= part which tells the formula which record ID to update.

The App token have to be required, so would I apply that right after the EditRecord& apptoken =???"

It would look like this with an app token

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&apptoken=kn75dwb4y6nhrdtb89z2cnv9ay4"
& "&_fid_208=1"
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])

thanks I got it to work

thx for letting me know.  now, btw, after the button is pushed, then if it is pushed again, the email will not fire as the trigger field is already set to 1 (true).  If you want it to fire every time and you tell me what the name is of your trigger field that field ID 208, then I can help you with that.

thanks you read my mind the field name is Send_Notification

var text NewToggle = IF([Send_Notification] = true, "0","1") // this will make the toggle be the opposite of its current value, but in text format.


URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&apptoken=kn75dwb4y6nhrdtb89z2cnv9ay4"
& "&_fid_208=" & $NewToggle
& "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])

Perfect you rock, thanks alot
