RV Entry - URL Addressable
The RV Entry Lightning Component can be accessed via a URL that can be built up to configure the form. This lets you create a link that opens an entry page for a specific object and record type, and pre-populate values. In addition, a success or cancel URL can be set.
Base Path
To open the RV Entry Lightning Component, the URL should contain the base path, which is placed after the Salesforce domain.
In addition, configure the form by adding one or more parameters. The cobjectApiName parameter is required to indicate the object. Other parameters are optional.
The base path for opening the RV Entry component is:
/lightning/cmp/recordval\_\_recordFormByUrl?
Parameters
Build your link by placing the required c\_\_objectApiName parameter after the base path's question mark. If you want to add additional parameters, separate the parameters with the "&" character.
For example: c\_\_objectApiName=Account&c\_\_recordId=00Q090000011OGpEAM
When using IDs, make sure to use 18-character IDs.
| Parameter | Description | Example |
| cobjectApiName | The Object API Name. This parameter is required. | cobjectApiName=Account |
| crecordId | Record ID. Use this parameter if you want to edit a specific record. Use an 18-character ID, or add the CASESAFEID() method to guarantee an 18-character ID. |
crecordId=00Q090000011OGpEAM |
| crecordTypeId | Record Type ID. Use this parameter if you want to create a record with a certain record type. Use an 18-character ID, or add the CASESAFEID() method to guarantee an 18-character ID. |
crecordTypeId=012090000008VO0AAM |
| cdefaultValues | To pre-populate field values in the form, use a URL encoded JSON string as value. | For example, see below. |
| csuccessUrl | Use this parameter to override the URL target after a record is successfully saved. | csuccessUrl=https://www.recordvalidation.com |
| ccancelUrl | Use this parameter to override the URL target after a user clicks the cancel button. | ccancelUrl=https://www.recordvalidation.com |
Setting default values
To pre-populate values in the RV Entry form, use the c\_\_defaultValues parameter. The value for this parameter should be a URL encoded JSON string. There are many free online tools that can help you with encoding JSON.
Input:
{
"Field\_API\_Name" : "Value", // For example - "Email" : "ruben@plauti.com" //
"Field\_API\_Name2" : "Value"
}

Troubleshooting
Any IDs used should have the 18-character format.
If you get an RVENTRY_ERROR_LAYOUT_INCOMPLETE (Missing properties in the page layout for {0} object.) error when opening the RV Entry page via a generated URL, use the CASESAFEID() method to convert the 15-character length ID to an 18-character length version.
