Within the SeeClickFix 311 CRM app and your organization's Marketplace app, you can add buttons that link to resources relevant to users. As an organizational Owner, you can add mobile buttons to your organization's app configuration.
Important Notes
- Only Owner users can access the Manage Organization tab.
- If you want to track analytics or the use of the mobile buttons, we'd recommend utilizing a third-party platform that allows for the tracking of specific links. This can be a service such as bit.ly. This enables you to use a redirect link and track usage.
- For seasonal mobile buttons, you can disable and enable them as needed.
Instructions
- Click the Profile icon, then Manage Organization.
- Select Buttons in the left-hand navigation, under Mobile App.
- Select New Button.
- Fill out the New Mobile App Button fields.

Open URL in external app or browser: Enter the URL you would like the button to open outside of the mobile app.
-
Note: This link can be used to open any webpage, open up an email client, or open up a text message application. If you want to create a mobile button to open an email, you can utilize the "mailto:" link format. If you want to create a link to open up an SMS or text application, you can utilize the preface of "sms://+1" and then the 10-digit number.
- Example: "mailto:mayor@cityofanywhere.gov?subject=SeeClickFix%20Contact" - This URL will open an email for the constituent with the subject line pre-populated as "SeeClickFix Contact".
- Example: "sms://+18882282233" - This URL will open the SMS/text application on the user's mobile phone.

Show some text: Enter text to show for the button.
-
View URL within app: Add a URL you would like the button to open within the mobile app.
Note: View URL Within App is best when used to show a “content only” page such as a simple page with static information, without any additional web functionality. For more complex websites, customers should utilize the action Open URL in external app or browser.
-
Call a phone number: Add a phone number for the button.
- Click Create Mobile App Button.
- To see the new button, open the app and refresh your location/place page to force reload the button after updating.
