API Link Redirect Not Working
Hello: I'm working on an approval management app that will send a link out via email, that a non-QuickBase user can click on to change the status of a status field, then redirect to a thank you page....

Thanks Mark. When I plug this into the email, it just outputs as written above. I am using my realm and app token, but attached is how I'm pasting into notification template. I may misunderstand the execution of this.

I assume that you are firing a native Quickbase Notification.
You should make a formula URL field and then include the field is your email. In the notification the button that the user will click is not going to look very pretty, but once you get that working as step one if you wanted to look more like a button instead of just a hyperlink then post back and I can help you with that but first things first let's get the button working in the basic email.
So of course what I posted was just an example. You need to edit the formula to update the fields that you want and the landing page that you want to use her to land on. I just gave you a working example from out of my previous applications which was similar to your need.
