I love the automatic icons that appear when you format a column as Phone or Email.
However, for my current project, no one wants to see the SMS icon.
They would prefer to see a little WhatsApp icon that would launch the WhatsApp application.
I am logging this as a feature request, unless I missed it somewhere:
is there a way for me to control which of these action icons appear?
And in the meantime, what is the best way to add an action with a link to open the WhatsApp application?
I tried to create a virtual column and specify the URL, but I have a couple of issues:
AppSheet has a few characters, such as the forward slash / reserved for mathematical operations, and these are part of the URL address.
Secondly, the URL has to be dynamic:
a concatenation of a URL constant (https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=) , the country code, and the phone number.
I’m afraid we don’t have that option at this moment. Awesome does have that icon but for some reason we are not able to use all of them. I need to check the reason.
Are you able to create that URL with the concatenate?
For what it is worth, there are some good icons available via a quick Google search: pngimg.com
