Use this interactive demo to learn how to build and customize action buttons in your Coda doc.

Quick summary

Action buttons in Coda let you trigger automated workflows directly inside your docs with a single click. Adding a button takes just a few steps — from inserting a new button block to configuring its on-click action and visual appearance.


Steps

  1. Navigate to your Coda doc where you want to add the action button.
  2. Click the add icon inside the doc to open the content insertion menu.
  3. Select 'New button' from the available options.
  4. Go to the 'On click' section and click the drop-down arrow to select an action to assign to the button.
  5. Customize the button by setting its label, icon, color, and size to match your needs.
  6. Your action button is now created and configured based on your requirements.

📌 Why this matters

Coda action buttons transform static documents into interactive, automated workflows — letting teams trigger tasks, update records, or run formulas without leaving the doc. This feature is essential for teams looking to reduce manual work and centralize processes inside a single connected workspace. By embedding clickable actions directly in a Coda doc, users can streamline repetitive operations and improve collaboration across projects. Action buttons make Coda a powerful no-code automation tool for any team managing structured work.
