You can open the website using “open link in error” not the app though. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/d/dd5b5766339e34557add73f3e19a2f47a46e5efd.png) You don’t need to program ‘anything in on error’ ---

For example it is possible to open apps like whatsapp with a specific command. Can a similar solution be found? ---

Thanks This is how you can open FB with your profile: Use “Open link” block and write this code in it but change the ID number with your profile ID number: fb://profile/100004176199298 ---
