node in an actionflow to open a URL in a new tab once the actionflow has completed. The node can also be used to send emails and call telephone numbers.

Examples

Opening a Web Page

To open a webpage the open URL node needs a valid URL to be mapped to the URL attribute. The format of the URL must be:

'https://www.url.com'

If you want the application user to provide the URL, use a calculate node ensure the URL has the correct format. For example, the following  expression uses a switch statement to prepend https://www.

//for URL's to open correctly they must start with https://www.

switch(
    [startsWith(in.URL, "https://"),
        in.URL
    ],
    [startsWith(in.URL, "www."),   
        "https://" + in.URL
    ],
    
    "https://www." + in.URL
    
)

The following video shows how an application user types a URL into a field, and the web page then opens.

'mailto:' + in.EmailAddress + "?body=This is the body of the email.%0d%0aThis is the second line of the body of the email."

"mailto: " + in.EmailAddress + "?cc=" + in.cc1 + "," + in.cc2 + "&bcc=" + in.bcc + "&subject=" + in.Subject + "&body=" + in.Body

Calling a Telephone Number

Use the Open URL node to make a VoIP call to a telephone number. Map a valid telephone number to the URL attribute as follows:

'callto:' + in.TelephoneNumber

The function 'callto:' causes the browser to open an appropriate VoIP client, such as Microsoft Teams. The VoIP client then calls the number provided. This is illustrated in the following video.
