When I try to add a webview action it gives me an error the page cannot be embedded into itself. Any workaround for this?

Thanks!

@Jen_NYCP

Ahh

Show us some screenshots and explain what you are trying to show in the webview.

Thanks

Ah, thanks Darren, yes I opted for open link for now to see if there was a solution. Guess I will work to make the page as native looking as possible.
