Open a Link Button

In this guide you'll learn how to create a button that will open a website, a social media page or a messenger when the user taps on it.

First of all, you'll need to add an object that will be used as a button to the scene of your experience. In this guide we'll use a 3D Instagram button from the library.

Now you'll need to add an action that will open a webpage when a user taps on the button.

Click on the Add Action button on the Properties panel on the right side of the editor.

Find the Open Webpage on Click action in the library and click on it to add it to your button.

Set the link you'd like to open when the button is triggered in the URL field.

Some examples:

https://mywebar.com - opens a website

https://instagram.com/mywebar - opens an Instagram profile

https://wa.me/12345678 - opens a WhatsApp chat

You can also specify whether you want the webpage to be opened in the same or in a new browser tab using the Target dropdown menu:

Blank - opens the webpage in a new tab

Self - opens the webpage in the same tab

The Event Source parameter specifies which object will trigger the action.

In this case the webpage will be opened when the user taps on the Instagram button, so you can keep the default setting.
