I am implementing a solution where it requires automatically launch an external link in new browser tab when certain step executes - without requiring the user to click a link. How it can be achieved in virtual Agent?

 

Any pointers , code sample or best practices would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

You can't open a new window in most modern browsers unless a user initiated it, it's to avoid annoying popups.

There may be some dirty ways around that, but I would really discourage doing that, since most of such solutions introduce a security risk.
