# Button

You may add a button at the and of your form in order to trigger a custom action. This component supports the following attributes:

<table><thead><tr><th width="155.33333333333331">Property</th><th width="264">Description</th><th>Values</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>type</td><td>The type of button.</td><td><ul><li><code>primary</code>: Default blue button</li><li><code>success</code>: Green button</li><li><code>warning</code>: Orange button</li><li><code>danger</code>: Red button</li><li><code>muted</code>: Gray button</li></ul></td></tr><tr><td>click</td><td>A user-defined label that serves as a unique ID to link the button to an action. </td><td>Any user-defined label that matches the label of any of the supported actions.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Supported button actions

Available actions inside the custom UI widget are:

* **Trigger webhook**: Upon clicking the button, an HTTP request will be made to the configured URL.
* **Go to dashboard**: Upon clicking the button, the configured dashboard will be launched in a new tab.
* **Go to URL**: Upon clicking the button, a new tab will be launched pointing to the designated URL.

## Example

The following code snippet displays a green button, that, upon being clicked, will launch the action labeled `make_request`, that will ultimately make an HTTP POST request to a certain configured Ubidots endpoint:

```xml
<button type="success" click="make_request">Send</button>
```

Here, the button's property `click` defines the label of the action to be performed ("make\_request") and which is configured in the widget's settings at the "actions" section:

Note from the GIF above that, the **Label** field within the Widget's Action configuration, is filled with the same label as it was in the button's **click** property.
