Refresh page on action link

[richardch372]

Is it possible to refresh the entire page after an action link has finished processing it’s action rules.

I did try page redirect to the same page thinking this might refersh the page but without success. Can’t find any other resource for this.

thanks

Use Javascript to trigger a page or component refresh when an Integromat scenario is completed

@tim.young i appreciate you taking the time to share this but i am not using intogromat or ably. just an action link in a form. I didn’t think I would need to go through this amount of work and 2 extra apps just to achieve a page refresh.

is there no easier way to do this which can be triggered by the action link?

It’s mentioned in this post as well.

Show loading GIF while Action Links run

I haven’t tested this out yet, but I think for multiple tables it might work better if you change each $('.myAction .td-link') to data.ele.find('.myAction .td-link')

You certainly do not need to use Integromat or Ably. I’ve linked to that post because it contains some of the code required to refresh the page. I realize a more straight forward answer would have been better, my apologies - it was early

Here is another post that contains some helpful code/information

Auto-refresh for datatable

Here’s how you can do this using some custom JavaScript. Here’s how the end result looks. [2021-05-05_21-13-15] Step 1 Add the CSS Class action-link-refresh to the action link column(s) as shown in the image below. Please Note: You will need to add this to both action links if you want it to work both ways as shown in the example above.

The main issue here to workaround comes from this part of what you said…

after an action link has finished processing it’s action rules

@Chem might have to chime in here but as far as I know, there is no listenable event that we can use to run a function when the action rules are complete. This is all done server-side, which is why in nearly every post here that has code related to refreshing pages/table after clicking an action link, the code contains a section where there is a timeout function to refresh after a set period of time.

Thanks @slimpens this post seems to be geared towards an action link in a table, my action link is placed in a form. It updates table data. this data is displayed in another form on the page and that’s the form i need updating. at the moment we need to refresh the page/form manually for this form to show updated data.

hope this helps gives a better idea.

Using JS to pause a redirect & using JS to refresh a page after an action button is clicked

Hi there, I’ve built 2 scenarios for my app with Integromat. Scenario 1: Generate contracts from a form submission What I’m looking for: After the form is submitted, the user is redirected to a details page. The Integromat scenario takes 10-ish seconds to complete after submission before a download link is added to the record for the user to see. How can I use JS to pause the redirect, or better yet have my app display a message “The contract is being generated, please wait”, possibly show ano…

Thanks for posting that image, that really helps understand the context!
