URL-Related

This creates a Hyperlink that'll work in any Salesforce Organization - no hardcoding the URL
'Task Link' is what will be displayed
NOTE: 620 is the API Version (v62.0), so you may need to update this to make sure you're not using a deprecated API Version. 

HYPERLINK(
LEFT($Api.Partner_Server_URL_620, FIND( '/services', $Api.Partner_Server_URL_620)) & Id, 'Task Link')

Same code but for a Flow 

HYPERLINK(
LEFT($Api.Partner_Server_URL_620, FIND( '/services', $Api.Partner_Server_URL_620)) & {!$Record.Id}, 'Task Link')

Dynamic URL Button

This is useful if you connect to an External Application via URL, but it changes depending on which Sandbox you are in.

  1. Create a Custom Setting in Production and any affected Sandboxes (call it what you want)
    • Label: "Ext Site Cfg"
    • API Name: "Ext_Site_Cfg"
    • Field Label: "Ext Site Name"
    • API Name: "Ext_Site_Name"
  2. Set Default Organization Level Value
    • Ext Site Name: Varies by Org
    • Leave blank if Production, or add in the Sandbox value for the external site
  3. Create the Detail Page Button in your Object
    • Label: "Go to Ext Site Record"
    • API: "Go_to_Ext_Site_Record"
    • Behavior: "Open in new window"
    • Content Source: "URL"
    • Set value below if it's either the main page, or if there are additional parameters, such as an External ID on your Salesforce Record, use the second Formula
IF(
  ISBLANK($Setup.Ext_Site_Cfg__c.Ext_Site_Name__c),"https://site.host.tld/",
  "https://site-" & LOWER($Setup.Ext_Site_Cfg__c.Ext_Site_Name__c) & ".host.tld/"
)

IF(
  ISBLANK($Setup.Ext_Site_Cfg__c.Ext_Site_Name__c),"https://site.host.tld/Page.aspx?id="&{!Object.ExtId__c},
  "https://site-" & LOWER($Setup.Ext_Site_Cfg__c.Ext_Site_Name__c) & ".host.tld/Page.aspx?id="&{!Object.ExtId__c}
)
