Link to item - customise

Posted on by egornua1 364

Hello All,

 

I am using link to item and it displays a long string.

Is it possible to customise in flow so its equal to the transaction number (this number is contained in the long string)

Is parse json an option to achieve?

 

I am new to flow, so appreciate your feedback.

Thank you

    I wouldn't start stripping things out of the link or it may not work anymore.  If you just want a shorter URL you can use the Bitly connector to create a shortened link.

    @Pstork1 - thanks for the advice.

     

    Can you add any more detail on the bitly connector?

    Is this an action in the flow?

     

    Thank you

    Yes, there is an action for creating a shortened link.  Here's an article that explains how to use it.
