I have a button which performs a run Apex action (custom invocable method). The method runs successfully and returns a URL as an output parameter. I can access this parameter as {{$PreviousAction.result.url}}. I can display this result in a modal as the next action on my button.
However, when I try to use this as the target for a Go To URL, the page refreshes but does not redirect me. When I hard-code the URL (for debugging), it successfully redirects, so I don’t think it’s a security issue.
I can’t find any errors in the console or debug logs and am stymied as to why it won’t redirect to the URL from the parameter.
For context, the apex method creates a Stripe Checkout session using Stripe’s API. It returns a unique URL for the session and I need to redirect the user there to enter their payment information. When it’s done, it will redirect the user back to the site.
My goal is to embed this in a Community/Experience, but I am running this as a regular user to eliminate variables in why it’s not working.
There may be a bug here - and I’ll try to explore that.
But you might be able to pass the previous action result URL into a UI Only field as part of the action sequence that runs Apex, and then merge the Field value into your button action.
