All through email, with API buttons, you can easily approve (or NOT approve) with just a click!
In the Secrets of API Buttons for Quickbase course, I teach you, step-by-step, how to do just that!
This tutorial is a sneak peek into the training where I walk you through the scenario, how I set up the Quickbase, and a demo of the Approval by Email API button IN ACTION!
FULL DISCLOSURE: The step-by-step walkthrough of the API formula is only available in the paid course (learn more here).
Email Approval Scenario:
- Once a task is completed, a notification is sent to the requestor for approval
- The requestor wants to indicate approved or not approved via the email notification
- If approved, the task can be marked as closed
- If not approved, the requestor adds notes explaining why
Email Approval Objective
(with one APPROVED click):
- Request Quickbase sign-in
- Update record with approver name, date approved, add a note, and update phase to "closed"
- Redirect to a Thank You page
(with one NOT APPROVED click):
- Request Quickbase sign-in
- Update record to clear approver name (if any), clear date approved (if any), add a note, and update phase to "blocked"
- Redirect to a form with a focus on the notes field in edit mode
