How to open a URL from activity
Hi,
can you please help to resolve the below issue.
I have a requirement where after collecting certain parameters from Activity steps I need to open the URL with collected Parameters by passing them, can any one please let me know how this can be achieved.
I tried to use Show-HTML method with custom JSP page calling in it but it is not working.
Can anyone please let me know the step by step approach to achieve this requirement.
I have referred the below articles on PDN but they are unable to fulfill the requirement.

Hi,
Would calling Show-Harness activity from current activity help your requirement?
There is also an on-click action called Open URL In WIndow. This also might be helpful instead of using an activity.
Thanks

Hi Srinivas,
Thanks for quick reply.
The requirement is to call a new URL from activity, hence calling open URL in new window on click of link/button is not something that we are looking for.
Hence can you please let me know how to open a URL from activity with parameters collected from activity.
Thanks.

Also, you could consider using the window.open JS function: https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp

How is the activity itself initiated ? If on user event , then try using JavaScript to first call the activity and then use window.open() to open the desired URL in new window.
