URL Field
The URL field type is designed to store and render web addresses as clickable hyperlinks. It ensures that users can navigate directly to external resources, documentation, or associated websites from within the SnapApp interface.
URL Field Properties
Note: Every field in SnapApp shares a set of universal properties, such as Display and Edit settings, that are configured during creation.

Basic Properties
The Basic Properties tab establishes the field’s identity and database mapping.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Data Type | Set to URL. This enables hyperlink formatting in the UI. |
| Object | The parent object this field belongs to. |
| Label | The user-facing name, such as “Company Website” or “Documentation Link”. |
| Column Name | Prepopulated from the Label (e.g., company_website_url). |
| Description | Internal notes explaining the purpose of the stored link. |

Validation & Enforcement
The URL field includes built-in validation to ensure that entered data follows standard web address structures.
Valid Formats
To pass validation, the URL must typically include the www. prefix.

Handling “Invalid URL” Errors
The system will block the record from saving and display an Invalid URL error in red text if the format is incorrect. Common triggers for this error include:
- Naked Domains: Entering the domain without the
www.prefix (e.g.,snapapp.com). - Plain Text: Entering a name or keyword without a top-level domain (e.g.,
snapapp).
| Input Example | Status | Result |

✅ Valid | Record Saves |
