Hi @Cong_ty_Novastars

Thanks for writing in. Just to clarify, you already have a button component referencing a column containing the URL to FB Messenger but the link isn’t working?

Hope you’re keeping well amid the current climate.  
Many thanks!

Tom

Doesn’t each of your group chat have a Messenger link as well?

If it helps you explain your problem better, you can say it in Vietnamese. I’m from Vietnam.

You might want to use an url scheme link I order to open the messenger app

Might be possible with something like

```auto
fb-messenger:

```

It’s really strange here.

When I use both the [m.me](http://m.me) method and the custom URI scheme with a button to open link, the button shows up in the Editor but not in the real app.

If anyone has time to try this themselves it would help.
