What Does “Open Externally in Browser” Mean?

When adding links (like sign-up forms, donation pages, or external websites) to your app, you may see a checkbox labeled “Open externally in browser” under the Embedding section.

What This Option Does

When you check “Open externally in browser”, the app will open the link in the user's default web browser (like Chrome, Safari, etc.) instead of inside the app itself.

This is helpful for web pages that:

• Require additional login permissions (like some Google Forms)
• Involve secure payment processing
• Doesn’t display correctly when embedded within the app

When to Use It

✅ Recommended:

• Forms that display login errors (like "Unauthorized" or error code 401)
• Web content that doesn't load or function properly in the app

🚫 Not Recommended:

• For most basic pages that display fine in-app (like simple info pages or basic external sites)
• If you want users to stay within your app experience
