URL/Link Formatting

I am working on a marketplace and it contains urls to 3rd party information.

ATM, the url field is synced to Airtable records and the appear in raw format (https://…).
I was wondering whether there is a way to format so that the url will appear just as “Click Here” or something similar.

Thanks

you could also use html there via formula field and then use in Softr I believe

Thanks. I tried that but not sure whether it works for dynamic links where every field has a different URL. I want to create a standard formula for the field.

Yes it should still work, since you formula field is also dynamic.

Thanks.
So I figured out to convert the url into hyperlinks in the Airtable field.

However, I am unable to map it from Softr because there is none of the options in the Map To section corresponds to the Button in Airtable. What would be the correct way to map it?

Thanks again.

Hey!

Don’t use the button airtable field type. Use a regular formula field and apply the same formula. This way you can map it to any of the softr field types.

Thank you for the tip.

The downside of this method – at least from what I know – is that the button has to be formatted in Softr and I don’t know whether it is feasible. I don’t want the whole URL to be visible.

Hey, you can always format the button to your like with html on your airtable formula field and the import that field and style using embed field type in softr.

Thank you.

Let me try that. HTML in airtable fields is always challenging for a novice like me but I have come this far :slight_smile:
