Save a clickable URL in to database

sawan · 2024-08-12T12:22:21.560Z

Hi Everyone, I checked this in the forums and there is not repeat of the same query. I am trying to save a URL that can then be visible for a user to click on and open the page. If i save to text field it will not show as clickable when the data is visble in a field or RG.

I just want to be able to store urls and then have them in an RG and clickable, is this possible or with a plugin?

Most grateful for any guidance.

You need to attach a workflow with the text/button element you use.

What I would like is to save a url via an input and then display it in an RG as clickable text for someone else to click. if I add buttons to every URL i want to save this is quite time consuming and only something an admin would be able to do rather than a user of the app.

Saving a URL as text is the way to go.

It is when the text is displayed that you need to do something.

If you display a text you’ll have the option to make it recognized as a link :

If you use a button, then you’ll need a workflow and “go to” action.

Save it in database as text.

then display it in an RG as clickable text

Display the dynamic text (URL user added)

clickable text for someone else to click

Add the workflow on this text → on click → open external website → Parent group’s URL

Thanks for all the guidance, I found another way, using the rich text editor allows you to just save the URL as I paste it, it then appears clickable in the RG. Teamwork was great we all shared solutions.
