Action Text (Apps)

A labeled value that you can tap to perform an action

The Action Text component allows us to link any text to any specific action when it is clicked or tapped in your app.

Configuration

To start, select the action text component from your component list. Once you add this, you can now configure your action text data based on your preferences.

There are three areas to configure:

  1. Data - You can then set the data to display for that action text - either a custom text or data from your sheet.

  2. Title - You can add a title for your action text. This can either be a custom text or data from your sheet.

  3. Action - This is the behavior that you can set for your action text. You can choose from any of the actions available in Glide or you can set it to None if you want to keep the text static.

Sample

In this example, this Action Text component is set to the Compose Email action. We've configured the component as follows:

  1. Data - Custom Text, "Notify Email"

  2. Title - Custom Text, Blank

  3. Action - Compose Email

The Action Text component also supports long-press to copy, allowing people to copy the data that's in it to the clipboard.
