Insert value of one field to URL field
How can i create a link in the URL field using a value from another field of the same record?
I try to create a Whatsapp link from a phone number field like:
When i put this link manually in URL field and then click the globe icon, whatsapp starts as it should.
I can use a Formula field to create this link, but how to make it launch the Whatsapp app??

I got it.
In URL field there is an option Trigger after update.
I put there
URL := "https://wa.me/" + Tel
where Tel is the field containing clients phone number.

URL := "https://wa.me/" +523312947427

Hi there! I'm trying something similar, but it wasn't working with my fields, so I thought I'd try using your exact specifications (down to field names, http site, etc.) and it's still not working for me... :-(
Any advice?

Hello!
Its because i was not precise in my previous comment.
I got 2 fields:
'Tel' and 'WhatsApp'.
In Tel's options in the Trigger after update field i put
WhatsApp := "https://wa.me/" + Tel
This way it will work.
If that formula is in WhatsApp's options, it will not work because the WhatsApp fiwld is not updated manualy.

Ah ha!! That makes sense. Tried it and it worked... thanks for the response!
P.S. I came across a similar solution for using a button as the URL field instead. Thought I'd share in case you hadn't seen this :-) https://ninox.com/en/forum/technical-help-5ab8fe445fe2b42b7dd39ee7/can-i-build-a-launchable-url-based-on-other-data-elements-5be7d2fccffb9b0d63355e2a
