Trigger popup via hyperlink instead of button

Hi team,

I need to integrate a pickaxe inside a web app via popup. As we do not have space for an additional button, I want to know if there is a way to trigger the popup upon click on a hyperlinked text.

Thanks!

Benoit

Hi Benoit. Welcome to Pickaxe!

Try this:

After you publish your Pickaxe, click on ‘Deploy’

‘<> Embed’

‘Pop-up’, then you will see a button appear in the center of the preview section (orange arrow).
Click on it, and you should see your message box appear.

Hi, thanks for your quick reply.

This is clear for me so far.
What I am trying to do: Instead of the button (which you pointed at with the orange arrow), I want to hyperlink a text on my website which would open the message box upon click. See what I mean? Is that possible?

Yes, I understand you now. That’s not directly possible from the Pickaxe platform. However, it could be possible with custom code and the extent your web builder allows you to integrate custom code. You can always try to create custom code with ChatGPT 4o or o1 models and test back and forth.

The closest quick solution I can think of is this:

  • creating a new page on your site.
  • embed your Pickaxe using ‘In-line’ embed on the new page.
  • create a button and link to the new page.

Pickaxe does not offer the functionality to embed Pickaxes as a hyperlink. You could have the hyperlink link to a page with the Pickaxe.

Thank you! That’s what I just did.
