Is it possible to use a URL format "https://[something]/[Tag]" to generate lists of contacts or activities using that Tag?

Question

SearchKit and FormBuilder are a fantastic couple and I'm creating various reports and dashlets for my CRM colleagues. I have a display showing all tags sorted by the amount of times they are used in contacts and activities. I would like to make the tags clickable and pointing to a page listing the contacts or the activities using that tag. It is possible to create these links using "https://[something]" + "Tag" but I can't find that [something].

Is it possible to construct these URLs with SearchKit or CiviCRM's older search engines? Or is there a different way to resolve this problem? Finding pages using a tag is a relatively common use case.

Answer 1

Yes, you can do this with SearchKit + FormBuilder.

1. Create a search for Contacts
2. Add it to a form
3. Add "Contact Tags" as a form filter:
4. Give your form a title and a url (e.g. civicrm/contacts-by-tag) and save.
5. Now visit your form e.g. at http://example.org/civicrm/contacts-by-tag#?tags=4 and FormBuilder will automatically set the title and show you contacts with that tag:
6. In your original search, construct a link to the new form using a token for tag id.
