Landing on a particular Site Record from External Portal

Hi All,

We have a requirement wherein a user will login to an external portal and system will display the list of records(example. Tickets), which we will pass through Appian WebAPI. Once the user selects a particular record, he needs to get authenticated to land on the site page for that specific record dashboard.

I am aware that a user can be redirected to a site/page once authenticated via User Start Pages but can they be redirected to a specific record summary dashboard on a site after authentication?

Correct me in case my understanding is wrong and suggest any ideas.

Thanks.
Hitesh

AFAIK, if user existed in user start page groups he will land on the configured start page once he gets authenticated.
in other hand .if used doesn't have any start page. might be he can able redirect to dashboard.

I believe the requirement is to get record summary dashboard url.
Use following code to get record unique url identifier. Append it to /tempo/records/item/<value>/view/summary

a!linkField(
label:"abc",
links:a!recordLink(
label:"clickhere",
recordType:cons!test_record,
identifier:"1190"
)
).links.@attributes.@anyAttribute._recordRef

If you want to direct the user to a record from outside the system, you can use fn!urlforrecord(). I would not recommend using @tajinders approach because it uses undocumented functionality which can break with any new release of Appian.
