Link to another app from the Menu?

[bertfred2]

I know how to link to another app by creating an Action which is accessed from a View, however, I would like to initiate the opening of another app directly from a Menu selection. Is this possible?

Hi @bertfred2 

As far as I know, it's not possible.

May I request you to change the category of your post to Q&A instead?

This is what i implemented instead. Some of the items in this menu lead to another view within the same app whereas some lead to another app.

I like this approach. Thanks for the tip!

Yes this is possible, you'll need to create an action to GO TO ANOTHER VIEW WITHIN THIS APP

Then, you create an IFS formula like that:

IFS(
[Tile of card] = A, LINKTOVIEW("App view"),
[Tile of card] = B, LINKTOVIEW("App view"),
[Tile of card] = C, LINKTOAPP("APPLINK ")
)

In this formula you'll need to say if the card title is blablabla go to another view, and if the card title ia tadada go to another app, and then depending on the card that the user clicks he will be taken to wherever you set.

PS: don't forget that you'll need to go to this view, click on the card and change the action that will run when the user click on it.

I might be missing something so if I am I apologize. If I create an Action (as I understand your response) how does the Action get triggered through a selection from the Menu? What I am trying to accomplish is to have a Menu selection called "Go to Other App" that when selected the user is taken directly to a new app. Again, sorry if I am being dense here...
