Hello and thanks for any help in advance! I am trying to get a button on a page in the members area of our website to go to a specific external url (Airtable Base) based on the username of the member. Is there any way to do this? There are only 5 users, so hoping this could be somewhat straight forward. :slight_smile: Thanks again!!

Hello,

I assume that you have all the usernames saved in a database collection. You can query it and get the information of a current user, then use wixLocation.to() to redirect your member to an external site.

Thank you for your response! How can I do this specifically when a button is clicked?

You’ll need to read the following article about event handlers:

Specifically, you can use onClick event handler.
