How do I have a single button perform multiple Quick Base API calls?

[The Quick Base Knowledge Base is your library of frequently-asked questions that help you better customize your apps to solve your business problems.]

Every API call includes an optional rdr parameter. This tells the browser what page to go to when the API action completes successfully. Within the limit of a URL you may include as many API commands as you want. To accommodate all browsers, keep your URL length to roughly 1,000 characters when submitting a GET request. You should be safe using a 2,000-character limit with modern browsers, however.

Important: You must encase every redirect parameter in a URLEncode function. Without this, Quick Base ignores that API statement.

For example:

URLRoot() & "db/" & DBid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&_fid_16=VALUE1&apptoken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&rid=" & [Record ID#] & "&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & [_DBID_CHILD_TABLE] & "?act=API_AddRecord&_fid_6=" & [Record ID#] & "&_fid_8=VALUE2&apptoken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&rdr=" & URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & DBid() & "?a=q&qid=1"))

Note: Quick Base recommends that you use application tokens for all API calls for security purposes. Read more about tokens in the Quick Base online help.
