Is it possible to set a tab as an external link? I would like people to go to an external site when they click the tab’s icon. It could be a redirect to a blog, a Linkedin profile, etc. Thanks a lot

Does this give you any ideas? [image] My Card: Your Anywhere AnyDevice Business Card Project Showcase wave Hey all! Just finished building v1 of my Digital Business Card app. Using the new Tiles > Action > Open Link feature and some simple Cloudinary magic, I managed to create a polished business card app that can be shared with anyone, anywhere on any device. Also leveraged a resource I discovered that allows others to save your info to their contacts app. This template, which is now available in the Glide Template store, comes with a complimentary, one-time setup/customization/configurat…

Hi maschera, As far as I know, it is not possible to this in Glide at the moment. Currently I have the same issue (for donations, news article links etc.), I use the link component or the button component.

Not yet…though, soon there will be a web view component you could use for embeddable content. You could make that the lone component on that tab.

Thanks Robert. That means that I will be able to add a tab (a CTA at the bottom of the app with an icon) and this can open an external link right away?

Oh…you’re looking for a CTA. The webview won’t work like this, no.

That’s a pity. The app I’m building needs is for personal branding purposes and needs to quickly redirect to the customer’s blog and Linkedin profile. Buttons are great but their visibility is tied to a specific page. Would love if Glide would make components redirect friendly.

That’s a really cool workaround for the time being - marked as a solution. Thanks for sharing Robert. At the same time I will open a feature request with Glide.
