Okay guys,
ive seen a similar post about this but didn’t answer what i was looking for.
I am wanting to take a url (google.com) and add it to a “open URL” button
then another record have another url (youtube.com) and add it to another “Open URL” button.
What formula could i use to target the url inside of the button field?

Hey
Button fields can work with either (i) static urls (one for every single record), or (ii) dynamic urls (different website url per record). For the latter, you would use a formula within
For your example, you will need an extra helper field created which I will call “Website”.
Depending on your specific use case, Website could be a single select field or a url field.
Example with single select field:
Under the above screenshot you would select the corresponding website out of a predefined list of possible websites. Probably not good enough as it lacks flexibility for really unique urls.
Example with url field:
By having the Button formula reference a url field, on the url field you can have whatever url you want per record. E.g. a youtube link for a very unique specific video. In this way, each url will be found under the website, and you will have a button field to make it look better.
Hope this helps! If any future reader needs any help setting this up, or would like to discuss a different workaround, I’d be happy to hop on a quick call and go through it together. You can grab a slot using this link :D
