Hi All
I’m trying to create a button (or a link) in a SendGrid email that will enable the recipient of that email to go straight to that order in my app directly from their email.
I can add a Variable to the SendGrid API Workflow that contains the Unique Order Reference that identifies the order but can someone tell me how I implement that on the button in the email so that the User can jump straight to that order when they click the button/link in whatever email client they’re using? Maybe it’s just a question of knowing what URL to add so that I can append the Unique Order Reference into it?
Many thanks in advance for any help
Joe
Just add it as a query parameter in the URL (e.g. www.mysite.com/orderpage?order=uniqueID)
Or, better still, if your order page has a content type of Order (or even if it doesn’t) just include the unique ID in the path (e.g. www.mysite.com/orderpage/uniqueID)
Many thanks Adam. Can I just ask (this seems a really silly question - apologies) does my App have to be “Live” for this to work? I keep getting a Privacy Error
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
is this because I haven’t gone live with my app yet? If so, is there a way I can write the link in “test mode?”
No, your app doesn’t need to be live.
You need to add /version-test to the URL — www.mysite.com/version-test/orderpage?order=uniqueID to have it work in development.
A handy little trick is to use the Website Home URL
Many thanks both for this information. I feel I’m getting there but for some reason whatever method I use for entering the URL, “URL2335” gets inserted in front of it so it resolves to
which then results in a privacy error. Any ideas on why this might be happening?
