# URL action

The URL action takes an URL of a website. Keep in mind that if the URL has a different domain of the URL of the current page, it will open a new window/tab; otherwise, it will just replace the current page.

#### Custom Variables

You can use custom variables inside the URL. For example, you can add `company_id` into the URL like this: `https://{{company_id}}.mydomain.com/dash` . 

However, for this to work, you need to set the variable first. For example, to use `{{company_id}}` in the URL, you need to call 

```javascript
window.Alvis("update", {
  company_id: "ACMEINC"
}
```

in your code. The URL will become `https://ACMEINC.mydomain.com/dash` when the end-user clicks it.

You can add the code right after the company information is present.

#### Intercom Product Tour Link

You can also use an [Intercom Product Tour link here](https://www.intercom.com/help/en/articles/2901144-share-your-product-tours#h_993fa3d9b0). Make sure it is published and the “Use tour everywhere” section must be turned on.

#### Calendly URL

We integrate with Calendly, so if you put a Calendly booking URL here, when a user clicks "Start", the user will see a popup showing the Calendly booking page.\
