If you are trying to put the record into edit mode then you need this URL

"<a href=https://domain.quickbase.com/db/dbid?a=er&_dfid=10&rid=" & [Record ID#] & ">" & "Drafter Update Link" & "</a>"

but the user will have to get logged into the do the Edit.

  Well, you can accomplish your goal but not that way.
  
  You will I'll need to mirror your data using a sync table or some other means in an EOTI app. Then use an Automation to write back to the real internal App.

    I know that there is a way to do it natively in QB because I had an app that sent out a notification with a link to an open form so the person that got the email could click on the link that took them to a simple form to upload purchase orders. I have other emails that I set up that uses the API_EditRecord to approve billing requests. None of these people have access to our QuickBase. The issue is I disabled the PO upload because the customer rather send it via an email so that had a record of it. So I know it can be done, I just cannot remember how to do it. I have it working with the exception that it is opening the XML response and not the form. I think I need a redirect but not sure.
