The new button field type allows you to trigger certain actions directly from a View or Record.
Button fields in SmartSuite allow users to add actions to their views and records, giving them control over when the action is triggered.
Currently, the Open URL action is available, which opens a specified URL in a new tab when clicked. This URL can be static or dynamic, using values from other fields in the record. In the future, additional action types will be added, including the ability to send emails, perform record operations, and trigger automations.
The button field's Properties page allows the user to configure the display format, button label, button color, and the desired action. The Open URL action can be set to either a static URL or a dynamic URL using the SmartSuite Formula Builder, which allows the user to combine field values, operators, functions, and text to create a customized link.
