Overview:
Yes — you can make a button in Actions.so link directly to a URL stored in a property of your Notion database. This is useful for creating dynamic buttons that change based on the page’s content, such as “View Resource” or “Join Meeting.”
How It Works
Actions.so can read a specific property from your connected Notion database and use that property’s value as the button’s target URL. When the URL in the property changes, the button link updates automatically.
Steps to Link a Button to a Notion Page Property
-
Open Actions.so and select Widgets → Buttons.
-
Connect Your Notion Database that contains the property with the URL.
-
Choose the Database Source in the widget’s data settings.
-
Select the Property that stores the link (make sure it’s a “URL” type property in Notion).
-
Design Your Button: set text, color, and style.
-
Save and Generate Embed Link.
-
Insert the Widget in Notion:
-
Type /embed in your page.
-
Paste the generated link.
-
Best Practices
-
Ensure the Notion property is a valid URL format (starts with https://).
-
Use clear button text like “Open Link” or “Visit Page” so users know where they’re going.
-
For team workspaces, lock the URL property to avoid accidental changes.
Pro Tip:
This method is perfect for linking event pages, meeting rooms, or dynamically updated resources without editing the button widget each time.
