In this article, you will learn the complete process for adding a button element to your pages and configuring its primary functional actions within the SystemeScale builder.

What you will need:

A standard SystemeScale account.
A published page in edit mode.

General Process for Adding a Button

Drag and Drop the Element

Log into your SystemeScale workspace and open your funnel page. In the editor, navigate to the left-hand panel, locate the Button element, and drag it onto the canvas wherever you want it to appear.

Access Button Settings

Click directly on the button you just placed to select it. In the sidebar that appears on the left, click the Settings (gear) icon to display the functional settings.

Choose the Action Loop

In the settings panel, find the Button action dropdown menu. You must select exactly which action should take place when a user clicks this specific button.

Detailed Button Actions

SystemeScale provides five distinct actions that you can assign to a button loop. This section explains the logic behind each selection.

1. Submit Form

This action is the backbone of your conversion funnels. When a user enters their name or email address in your lead fields and clicks this button, the system executes two distinct steps:

It saves the entered details as a contact inside your database.
It automatically redirects the user to the next logical step defined within your funnel structure.

💡

Note

You are permitted to add multiple "Submit form" buttons to a single page. However, you must ensure each button is configured to trigger the exact same automation rules and processes the same field data.

2. Show Popup

This action triggers a specific popup overlay created directly within the editor.

Prerequisite Required

You must have already created a popup asset within this specific page before you can choose this action. Refer to our specialized guide on How to add a popup to a page for structural instructions.

3. Open URL

This is a standard external redirect action. When selected, a new field appears requiring you to paste the exact URL where you want the user routed. You must also configure the standard target parameter:

Open in same tab: Replaces the current page.
Open in new tab: Launches the target URL in a fresh browser window.

4. Next Step URL

This action utilizes inherent funnel logic. It does not require you to paste a specific address; instead, the system automatically routes the user to whatever the next step is listed inside your active funnel flow.

5. Download File

This action is specialized for direct file access. When selected, a Download file utility box appears in your editor. Click on the Upload icon to browse and select the specific file you want the user to download.
