[rakde]

I am new to the world of programming and my knowledge is very basic or none. How can I send a whats app message with the click to chat. or hyperlink. thanks for the support.

nuBuilder has no inbuilt function to send messages to WhatsApp.

A quick Google search brought up this article:

ok, I understand, and generating a hyperlink concatenating the phone to make it work, example

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I'm%20in ... for%20sale


I would appreciate it very much

To compose the URL, you can use this function:

Code: Select all

function getLinkWhastapp(number, message) {

  message = encodeURIComponent(message);
  return `https://wa.me/${number}?text=${message}`;

}

Example:

Code: Select all

getLinkWhastapp('+your_number_here', 'hello');

To open the link:

Code: Select all

window.open(getLinkWhastapp('+your_number_here', 'hello'))

Once again I request your support, I have a client table where there is a mobile phone field. This will be used to send the message by whatsapp when clicking on the button. but I can't make the phone number change in the link.


Here are the screens of how I'm doing it but nothing happens. I thank you once again for your support.

I have tried to concatenate two fields without success. I can't understand how the fields work in nubuilder. My experience is only in microsoft access but it is no longer functional.

Replace the keyword String with const (lower-case)

thanks kevin for the support provided.

I already made the word change (String with constand) nothing happens. I add examples

explain.

I have a table called customers. with the phone number field. Generate a button to send a service message. This must send the message for each record, that is, each time a client is consulted, the button must take the telephone number of the client that is consulted and send the message if the user clicks on the button.

Another way that I use is this code but the number of the selected record is not put either

window.open("https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=521 ... lo%20There!");

I really appreciate your help a lot.

System.out.println() is Java, not JavaScript.
If the phone number is stored in a text field, you can retrieve it with telefono_movil.value


Write

Code: Select all

const phoneNumber = telefono_movil.value;

Instead of

Code: Select all

const phoneNumber = 'telefono_movil';

[rakde]

first of all thank you. for your support.

I already replaced the code, add the .value and without it since the field is number. sql base screen is attached.


and nothing happens. There will be another way to make it possible using other options, be it sql, html, etc.

Compare my code

Code: Select all

const phoneNumber = telefono_movil.value;

With your code

Code: Select all

const phoneNumber = 'telefono_movil'.value;
