How to link a hotspot to an external URL or email address

 

It's super simple to link to external websites or documents from your prototype using our external URL feature. This opens up some dozens of possibilities, here's a few examples for inspiration:

  • Gather feedback at the end of your prototype by linking to a questionnaire on Typeform or Survey Monkey. Great for remote user testing or validating ideas.
  • Open a file such as a PDF, video or MP3 on your own server or somewhere on the web
  • Link to the App Store, SoundCloud, Amazon items or any piece of online content
  • Open another Marvel prototype you've made!

Note: Linking to URL is available on Pro, Team, Team Plus and Enterprise plans. Find out more here.
