Deep Links

[Mark Lander]

I'm creating a directory and would like to add Slack deep links in a database view, however, slack:// is not recognized and formatted hyperlinks cannot be included in text-based fields.

Hi @Mark Lander  would you mind screenshotting an example?

I just tried adding a slack message link to a database, and didn't have an issue. 


Could you share the exact URL format you're trying to add?

Slack deep links formatted like this:

slack://user?team={TEAM_ID}&id={USER_ID}

Open a direct message with the presented USER_ID value of the id field. You must also specify a team with a TEAM_ID, using the ID of your Slack workspace.
