In the right, I saw Sample app had a value: rec.xxxxxxxxxxxx > where could I find it?

Hello  !

Thanks for your fast reply, I am trying with your link.
But I have some questions:

  1.  What's the link? I am using Airtable. So I will use Airtable share link, right?

After searching, I found this video. I think it is the answer of my question

But the interface of Bravo in this video is out of date. 

2. At the end of the URL, I added /${id}, but it does not change to blue color. I think I get the wrong here

3. I go to your step 4, but when I try with airtable share link or your sample link, I press Send, it always needs the key, not as your manual.

Please help me to fix this.

Hello  

  1.  The URL request it's explained in the video where to Find out (0:20sec): API documentation (if you are using Airtable)

    let me share another tutorial to learn more about the URL request: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fygNOgav4-w This is in our documentation too. Yes, the interface could be out to date a bit, but the basics you need to use should be there. Try it and see if you find it.

    Additionally, You can also try using our Airtable wizard to see if it's easier to use

    2. Currently, it's not turning blue anymore, so it's not a mistake, probably will be working too.

    3. Regarding the ${id} value (is the way to link requests between each other, for example when you have a list of articles, then you can click one article of the list to read the full article) It's explained here in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I01hwRmK4DE&t=14s
    (0.44 sec)

    Please check the tutorials and let us know if you manage to do it.
    Thank you

Thank you! After tried 2 days with your videos, finally I did it.
But, The interface is changed a lot, so I hope Bravo can edit the manual.
