# External Link in More Tab

### Overview

Clubs often need to point Customers at something that lives outside PodPlay: a WhatsApp group, a marketing list, a pro shop, a food menu. External Links add one entry to the App's More section and one icon on My Bookings. Each opens a URL you choose in a new window.

{% hint style="info" %}
**These fields are visible to PodPlay Admins only.** Contact the Customer Success team to have the links set up for your environment.
{% endhint %}

### Where the links appear

#### More section

The link appears as a new entry in the More section, directly above Help Center. It uses the name you set. A Customer taps it and the URL opens in a new window.

#### My Bookings

The My Bookings link appears as an icon only. There is no name field for it. It uses the same top right slot on My Bookings that the Public Shop shopping cart icon uses, so a Club can have one or the other, not both.

### Settings

The fields live in Company Settings → Links.

| Field                             | What it controls                    |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| `More: External Link Name`        | The label shown in the More section |
| `More: External Link Icon`        | The icon shown next to the label    |
| `More: External Link URL`         | Where the entry sends the Customer  |
| `My Bookings: External Link Icon` | The icon shown on My Bookings       |
| `My Bookings: External Link URL`  | Where the icon sends the Customer   |

Both icon drop-downs offer the same choices:

* `<blank>` (the default)
* Shopping Cart
* Dining
* People
* Generic

### Validation rules

* Enter a `More: External Link Name` and you must also save a `More: External Link URL`.
* Set a `My Bookings: External Link Icon` to anything other than blank and you must also save a `My Bookings: External Link URL`.
* Each URL must be a valid URL. The same rules apply as every other URL field in Company Settings → Links.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Public Shop and the My Bookings link cannot both be on.** If Company Settings → General → Enable Public Shop is toggled on, the `My Bookings: External Link Icon` and `My Bookings: External Link URL` fields are greyed out. Public Shop already places a shopping cart icon in the top right corner of My Bookings.
{% endhint %}

### Common issues

* **The settings cannot be saved:** A name or a non-blank icon without a URL blocks the save. Fill in the matching URL field, or clear the name and icon.
* **The My Bookings fields are greyed out:** Enable Public Shop is on. Turn Public Shop off to use a custom My Bookings link.
* **The More entry does not appear in the App:** The name and the URL must both be saved. Confirm the URL passed validation.
* **The link opens inside the App:** The URL opens in a new window. If a Customer reports the link opening in an unexpected place, confirm the saved URL starts with `https://`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podplay.app/marketing/link-from-the-app/external-link-in-more-tab.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
