i read it… just trying to find the problem… so only the link with parameters is not opening? normal links have no problem?

save that link as a first action… then do whatever actions you need to do, then open the link from that saved column… it looks to me that parameters are changing do to your father actions

not now.

but i’m sure you can get same result.  
just make a button, custom action, chek for any state and then open link:

```auto
"www.google.com/calendar/event?
action=TEMPLATE
&text=СЕВЕР DANCE FOREVER 
&dates=20221218T100000+3/20221218T220000+3
&details=СЕВЕР DANCE FOREVER <br>

&location=г. Москва 
&trp=false
&sprop=
&sprop=name:""
target=""_blank"" rel=""nofollow"">Add to my calendar"

```

it’s not work.

and then remove checking the state - it will work

The link is wrong… this is what are you trying open? this is a HTML for a page, not a link…

what you need is just this:

```auto
https://www.instagram.com/p/ClG7nbDNRe1/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=<br>
&location=г. Москва 
&trp=false
&sprop=

this is not how you do it… what you have is HTML, not a link… you can create a Google web App and paste that code there… but not in Glide

i see… there is no link in the not work button… is empty…  
also… to create an event, you need to have a client ID… you don’t have one there… I’m amazed that the other button works lol
