The 'Dynamic Redirect URL' automation lets you generate a link that always stays the same while controlling the destination URL from a field in Airtable. This makes it easy to update or change where users are redirected without sharing new links.
You can also add a lookup page to this automation to first have users find the appropriate record based on fields you define. Once the record is looked up, the redirect to the URL stored within that record takes place.
If a custom domain is set up for your workspace the link will automatically be generated using the custom domain.
Setup
Create an Airtable field containing the destination URL for each record. Use a complete URL starting with http:// or https://.
Create this automation and select the Airtable base and table you want to use.
Under Dynamic URL Generator, choose that field as Redirect URL Field.
For a direct link to a record’s destination, open Dynamic URL, click Get Redirect URL Formula, and paste the generated formula into an Airtable formula field to create the record links.
To have users look up a record first, turn on Enable Lookup Mode, select the Lookup Fields, and copy the Lookup URL instead.
Test the generated link with a sample record. Change that record’s destination field and check the same link again before distributing it.
