Linktoapp problem

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A
1

I want to create an action that links the user to another app but I keep getting a network error. I’m guessing that I have the App-ID wrong but can’t figure out what my error is. The app I want to link to is called “Bert Car Data”. when I use LinktoApp(“Bert Car Data”) I get a network error. Any ideas?

Use the full value of the appname parameter from the app’s URL–including the middle hyphen.

I appreciate the answer but I’m still having trouble. Where can I find the URL you are referencing?

I think that this is the right URL but it still doesn’t work?

Here is the expression that doesn’t work…

LINKTOAPP(“Login - AppSheet”)

LINKTOAPP(“Login - AppSheetBertCarData-2109576&appId=0ceba935-f8e0-4f13-a477-8d20c41867ff&quickStart=False#Settings.Information”)

@lizlynch , appname vs. appid should be clearer in articles like LINKTOAPP() - AppSheet Help.

@dbaum Just FYI, I did clarify this in the articles (awhile back – sorry for not replying sooner). Thanks for the suggestion!

Good to know.

You probably need to search the whole Help site to identify lingering uses of app-id. For instance: the LINKTOAPP entry in the AppSheet function list - AppSheet Help.

Nice one bro.
I was also troubled by this due to watching AppSheet Tutorial by AppSheet people.
Jeez what the world is coming to.
