We currently have some automated data explorer scripts being sent to senior stakeholders. There is currently one new topic appearing stating “this one doesn’t have a response, someone needs to action this.” They would like a direct link to the topic in question to answer Current data explorer has…

The data explorer has a selection of magic aliases to make the results more interactive. :magic_wand: Formatting Data Explorer Table Results A lot of them work automatically, depending on what table you use. For instance, pulling topic_id from the posts table will make it an interactive link to the…

I think you can create the URL as described in Allow topic links in reports to be clickable - #2 by JammyDodger . If you don’t have the slug, you could just add, for example, “-” as Discourse relies on the topic ID.

Hi @SStrong I guess you could get the links by naming the required columns topic_id or post_id. Here is a screenshot: <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/b/7/0/b70c2fd92e06aa1d494008448056d30592b62fc6.png" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/q7judEamcEffviNjiDKlfBu7i98.png?dl=1" title="This image shows a computer screen with a user interface that includes various elements such as a text editor, a query plan, and a console output.

Why and how does that work? It does work but I’m a bit confused as to why

Thanks, will read through the extra documentation at a later stage but much appreciated

Ok, so this 100% works just in Data explorer , however… When a user receives an automated email using the Automation plugin, the only way the user can see this functionality is by going directly to the Data explorer report. I.e. these links to the topics don’t come through in the body of the email …
