Custom Link

Opens a URL in a webview. The general-purpose escape hatch for anything the feature catalogue does not cover.

Add it to your app

1. Drag Custom Link onto a navigation bar, usually the side drawer.
2. Set the URL.
3. Set a Title — this is the label members see.

What it is good for

• A page on your site that needs your own scripts or styling to work — a form from another plugin, a booking widget, a dashboard.
• A plugin whose data has no native screen yet. See Supported plugins.
• An external resource: a knowledge base, a Discord invite, a survey.

Members stay signed in on your own site

For URLs on the connected site, the webview carries the member’s session, so a members-only page shows them signed in.

That does not apply to external sites, which know nothing about your members.

Use it sparingly

Every webview is a screen that is slower than the rest of your app, ignores your theme, and shows your website’s chrome inside an app that already has navigation.

A few are fine and expected. An app that is mostly webviews is one Apple rejects under guideline 4.2 as a website wrapper — see iOS builds.

Check the catalogue before reaching for this. A native screen usually already exists.

When it does not work

Symptom	Cause	Fix
The tab is blank	The URL is empty, wrong, or the page refuses embedding	Open it in a browser first
It asks for sign-in	It points at an external site	Expected
A page refuses to load at all	Its X-Frame-Options blocks embedding	Nothing to fix in the app; that site forbids it
Content is cut off sideways	The page is not responsive	Fix it on the site
It ignores dark mode	Webviews follow the website	Use a native feature
