What cool things are people doing with the new Button field type?

Looking for ideas. We’ve implemented it for launching custom emails (mailto:) to single and multiple recipients, and for launching a form through a URL. What other cool applications are you doing?!

Well there’s a contest going on right now for Button use cases. I’d recommend you monitor that thread.

I just ran across this on Twitter: https://www.loom.com/share/498680450639475791394c856129f2ce

It’s not in English, but luckily it’s a video so you can see what’s happening! Some interesting uses of the “Open URL” action:

• Using Google Charts API to generate QR codes: https://developers.google.com/chart/infographics/docs/qr_codes
• Opening Google Maps to get directions to a location
