Hi:  
Does anyone know how to create an input field to let user enter a valid external url on adalo?  
I want my users to input their external link on a post page, I purchased hypelink text component from  
market place, but don’t know how to use it? Does anyone have a clue?

Hi Thanks for help:  
1.Ref the img3 above, added a Field of URL from the form and input external link in:  
a) html format _link text_ ,

b)or in Iframe format:

2.Just put the Hyperlink text on the tip of a form as input field and edit the Click Action as “link to website”.

Thanks

Grant
