RecordLink and saveinto

Question

Hi All, 
 is there any way to have a link that starts a process and then takes you to a record? Something like a mix of a!dynamicLink and a!recordLink,

Hello Martin, 
 
There is a way to achieve this but again that depends on the requirement. In certain cases where if you required a!dynamicLink to call a!startProces for invoking a process model in-parallel to clicking on the recordLink(), then that can be achieved using the below way. 
 
1. create the record link to the record. 
2. create a webapi. Here you need to write the a!startProcess() code. 
3. create an integration to invoke the webapi within Appain. 
4. in the record - summary view - interface, we can call the integration using rule domain like rule!integrationName(). 
 
So if we follow this approach then we can invoke process model to make different actions, as soon as we visit a record. 
 
Hope this help. 
 
Thank You

You can do this by having a process start link in the record summary dashboard. Or Defining a related action to trigger a process then it will revert back you to the record.

The solution mentioned by you, required more then a single user click to perform action. recordLink() or processstartlink dose not have a saveInto and button / dynamic link dose not have a link attribute. Even a related action is also required explicit click to invoke the process model. The requirement was to do both the operation (visiting a record and invoking process model) in a single click. I already explored all those options during one of the business requirement and you will never be able to achieve triggering a process model on visiting a Record using any of those options. Only the way which I suggested is one only approach/solution to achieve that. Please let me know your comment if you find any different component having a saveinto and a link option together.
