Click on button in Ninox to view Gmails

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Ninox so forgive me for asking this question.

When I'm logged into Ninox and also my Gmail account, I'm wanting to click on a button that searches for all emails related to a contact's email address.

In the button, the formula needs to be "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/" with the contact's email address added at the end. I've created a button in my "Contacts" table in Ninox and within the formula field tried to use the formula editor, but I'm not finding it very intuitive.

Can anyone help me with this? Many thanks in advance.

Bruce

    In your button put this

    let searchString := "https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#search/";
    let email := replace(Email, "@", "%40");
    openURL(searchString + email)
    

    Regards John

       Nice that john... do you think something is possible with an outlook live account too?

       No idea Mel, I don't use Outlook Live. To be honest I looked at Bruce's post thinking it would not be possible just with a URL, but it works surprisingly well.
