Thanks - just tried and it says $TriggerEmailURL is not declared.  Is this something I need to do in the Formula URL field as well?

sorry, copy paste error

var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&_fid_58=" & URLEncode(Now());


"javascript:" &
"$.get('" &
$URL &
"',function(){" &
"location.reload(true);" &
"});"
& "void(0);"

    Manual change of the date/time field does trigger the notification but the Formula URL does not update the date/time field.  I checked - I am using the correct FID (140) and I also tried using the apptoken too.  No luck - any ideas on what to try next?  Thank you!

      the way to debug this is to do this

      var text URL = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
      & "&_fid_58=" & URLEncode(Now());

      $URL

      //"javascript:" &
      //"$.get('" &
      //$URL &
      //"',function(){" &
      //"location.reload(true);" &
      //"});"
      & "void(0);"



      ie comment out the javascript stuff and just run the URL. That will expose the error message.  The javascript refresh hides any error message and just refreshes the page.

        It's an apptoken error.  I do think I need these.  I put it in the code, and checked it twice, even created a new one and tried the new one.  Keep getting the error 24 that it's not assigned.  xxx below replaces the actual apptoken.  But note the void(0) appended - does that tell something?  I've checked for spaces and there are none.  I am literally copying/pasting from the apptoken list into the code.  

        <qdbapi>
        <action>API_EditRecord</action>
        <errcode>24</errcode>
        <errtext>Invalid Application Token</errtext>
        <errdetail>The Application Token xxxvoid(0); has not been assigned to this Application. To read about assigning an Application Token to your application go to https://help.quickbase.com/user-assistance/app_tokens.html</errdetail>
