Button Types

Every button you create has one of several different types. The type of the button determines what happens when you click it. We are always working on more button types and if you have an idea, please let us know!

For all button types, you can pass variables to the action. Read more about Button Actions.

GET Hook

A button of this type calls a GET webhook.

POST Hook

A button of this type calls a POST webhook and is able to pass in a body which is usually JSON but can be whatever you need.

Open A New Tab To A URL

A button of this type opens a new browser tab to a specific URL.

Search Google

A button of this type opens a new tab and searches for the action. For example, if you put this on a CRM record and the tab title is always the record name, you can simply make the action {tab_title} and every time you click the button, you'll open a new tab to search Google for it - very handy!

Send Email

A button of this type triggers an email to be sent using predefined content or a template. You can customize the recipient, subject line, and body, making this useful for automating communication. 

Copy To Clipboard

When clicked, this button copies specific text or data to the clipboard. It’s helpful when users need to quickly copy important information, such as an order number, API key, or other frequently used data.

Paste From Clipboard

This button retrieves and pastes the most recent content copied to the clipboard. It’s perfect for workflows where users need to insert previously copied text or data into a form or document without manually pasting it.

Grouping Button

A Grouping Button allows you to organize and nest other buttons within it. When clicked, the group expands, showing all the buttons inside. This is useful for keeping your interface clean and organized, especially when you have multiple buttons with related functions. It can simplify workflows by grouping similar actions together.
