Buttons in Email Notifications

Question

What kind of button or link in a Notification email should I use? I want the QB user to be able to click on a button within the email and the QB user is directed to a form in Quick Base where they can then take action.

What does the formula look like?

You can just insert a formula URL field into the Notification. But won't look very fancy as a button it will look like a hyperlink.

If you want a button appearance then the code would be like this from Kirk's Magic Buttons app.

var text URL = (insert URL here)

var text ButtonWords = "Insert button words here";

// Begin button style
var text bgcolor = "#34A853";
var text txtcolor = "white";
var text style = "style=\"text-decoration: none; width: 250px; text-align: center; background:" & $bgcolor & "; border-radius: 5px; padding: 8px 10px; color: " & $txtcolor & "; display: inline-block; font: normal 700 24px/1 \"Calibri\", sans-serif; text-shadow: none;";
// End button style

"<a " & $style & " href=" & $URL & ">" & $ButtonWords & "</a>"
