**Question:** Hi, I’ve created a dynamic Team(All) page connected to a CMS database containing the names, addresses and other information of a list of people. Each person has a Team(Name) page whose dynamic address is “…/team/{Name}”. I’ve connected this same dataset to a Google map and I’d like to insert the url of each page “…/team/{Name}” into each pin. This way I can see where the person is and read the corresponding information page. I’ve seen that the Google Map module doesn’t offer a connection to dynamic “/team/{Name}” url. So I manually entered the url of each “mysite/team/name\_i” page in a new url-type column. Do you know if there are more intelligent solutions? **Product:** Wix editor **What are you trying to achieve:** I’d like to click on a pin and read the “team/{Name}” page **What have you already tried:** I manually entered the url of each “mysite/team/name\_i” page in the CMS connected to Google Map **Additional information:** ---

I don’t see a way to do this programmatically with Velo so what you have seems the best way. ---

There most definitely is a way to do this programmatically with Velo. You can create a hook so that when the item is added or updated, it can automatically insert the appropriate URL value into the manual URL column that you created. > **[beforeInsert - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-data/hooks/beforeinsert)** > > A hook that is triggered before an insert() operation. The beforeInsert() hook runs when: + The insert() function is called. + An action is performed on a ... > **[beforeUpdate - Velo API Reference - Wix.com](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-data/hooks/beforeupdate)** > > A hook that is triggered before an update() operation. The beforeUpdate() hook runs when: + The update() function is called. + An action is performed on a ... If Wix could just program the “link connects to” setting to connect to a native dynamic page via the same dataset settings then you wouldn’t have to code a hybrid solution like this. #codequeen ---

Hi there, I am actually having the exact same issue. Perhaps I’m a bit more novice regarding code/Velo. I did read the referenced articles from Codequeen, but am not sure where to put this code and how a separate column within the CMS collection would get auto-populated with the URL ---
