1. Define the Action in UI Design

• Open your project on the Kuika platform.
• Go to the UI Design module and select the screen you want to link to.
• Create a button such as ‘Open Link’.

• Select the button and add the Device → Open In Browser action from the + ADD ACTION menu according to the trigger event you want (e.g. Initial Actions, OnClick, OnBlur).

2. Configure Action Parameters

• URL: The web address or email link to be opened (e.g., https://www.kuika.com or mailto:support@kuika.com)
• Open As (Optional): Specifies whether the link will open in a new tab (New Tab) or in the current page (Current Page).
• These fields can be defined dynamically via the Symbol Picker or as fixed (Fixed).

In an application, users want to quickly access the ‘Terms & Conditions’ page when registering or making a purchase. When they click the ‘View Terms’ button, the relevant web page opens in a new tab.

Steps to Add the Open In Browser Action

1. Enter the UI Design module and drag a Button element from the left panel and drop it where you want.
2. Enter the following text in the Label section of the button: View Terms
3. Select the button and add the following action from the + ADD ACTION menu: OnClick → Device → Open In Browser
4. In the action configuration:
   
   • URL:https://www.yourdomain.com/terms-and-conditions
   • Open As: New Tab

When the user clicks the ‘View Terms’ button, the Terms & Conditions page opens in a new browser tab and the user can review the content without leaving the current page.

• Dynamic URL Usage: Links can be changed according to user selection.
• Conditional Redirection: Users can be redirected to different pages based on their role or status.
• Email Trigger: An email can be automatically sent to a person using mailto: (e.g., mailto:info@kuika.com).
• File Opening: PDF, image, or other format documents can be opened directly in the browser.

Technical Risks

• Browser Restrictions: Some browsers may prevent new tabs from opening.
• mailto Compatibility Issues: mailto: links may not work if the user's device does not have an email application defined.
• Incomplete URL Format: URLs entered without http://, https:// or mailto: may not work.

The ‘Open In Browser’ action is a practical and effective solution for redirecting users to external content, displaying help documents, or opening an email client in Kuika applications. It stands out as a fast method for link redirections that support the application experience.
