🚀 NocoDB v0.255.0 - Introducing New Field Type : Button 🎉

🥁 🥁

Introducing the new field type Button, designed to enhance interactivity and automation by utilising data from the current row. This Button field type allows you to wire up the execution to predefined action such as triggering a webhook/API or opening a custom URL or launching a pre-filled NocoDB form. With this, you can dynamically pass record data, enabling highly tailored and context-aware interactions.

Key Features:

🪝 Trigger Webhook/API: Automate workflows by configuring buttons to trigger custom webhooks. Send data from the current record to external applications or automation services like n8n/zapier (invoking their incoming webhooks)

🔗 Dynamic URL Generation: Configure buttons to open custom URLs, which can be either static or dynamically generated based on the data in the current record.

📝 Launch Pre-Filled Forms: Easily set up buttons to open pre-filled NocoDB forms, streamlining data entry and reducing repetitive tasks.

🎨 Customisable Appearance: Tailor the button’s text, colour, and icon to fit your specific needs, ensuring consistency and visual appeal within your table.

🧮 Formula Integration: Leverage NocoDB's formula editor to create dynamic URLs and payloads, making your buttons even more powerful and responsive to changing data.

Do you have a specific custom trigger action for buttons on your wish list for NocoDB? Let us know!

📢 Important notice

This release includes a migration to generate a file reference table, which will be used in future updates to clean up unreferenced attachments. The migration process will run in the background. Please note that this release doesn’t initiate any clean up of unreferenced files.

Additionally, we are introducing the NC_ATTACHMENT_RETENTION_DAYS configuration for future releases. If this value is set to 0, it will prevent the cleanup of any stale / unreferenced attachments. Otherwise, unreferenced attachments will be removed from the disk after the specified number of days.
