I have an App where I'd like to automate searching for an NFC tag simply by the user touching phone to an NFC tag. IF THE ITEM DOESN'T EXIST THEN A RECORD IS AUTOMATICALLY CREATED
- without any interaction with the phone at all in order to get the search results displayed (not even a click of "Save")
- without the need that Appsheet was running
- IF the search results are empty then an item is automatically created using fields extracted from the URL on the chip
The only way I can think of to deliver this functionality is
- Encode the NFC tag with a deep link to a pre-filled search form using the address https://www.appsheet.com/start/6795d7f6-69ee-4f8b-97f3-b84d4af907be#table=Search&page=form&defaults=...
- Set the Search form to autosave if all the fields are filled in (which they are)
What I'm expecting is
- Appsheet starts (because that's what the link does)
- The Search form is filled (because that's what defaults do)
- The form saves (because of the autosave above and the fact that all fields are completely filled)
- A record is created
- I automate a search action to search for an item when this record is created
- I automate a creation of a record if the search yields NO results
What it does is
- Appsheet starts (OK)
- The Search form is filled (OK)
- The form doesn't save automatically. (even though the autosave should do that.
This means I can't automate the search process without user input. and I can't automate the automatic creation.
What I need is a deep link such that a record is created *AND SAVED* without any user input.
I scoured the Appsheet Q&A and the answer isn't included in

Any ideas?
