 ## Requirements

 - FireBox 2.1.4+ is required to use On Click actions.

 ## How to set up an on click action

 To set up an on click action, add a [supported block](https://www.fireplugins.com/docs/howto/how-to-trigger-an-action-on-click/#supported_blocks) on your campaign, select it, and on the right-hand side, you’ll notice a new panel named “FireBox”. Opening this panel will reveal a dropdown named “On Click”, allowing you to set the behavior of the block when it is clicked.

  For our examples, we’ll assume we’re using a Buttons block to an add on click action.

 ## How to open a URL

 To open a URL when the button block is clicked, follow the steps below:

 **Step 1:** Open the “On Click” dropdown and select the “Open URL” action.

  **Step 2:** Enter the URL to open when clicking the button block.

  **Step 3:** Add UTM Parameters to the URL

 Enable the “Add UTM Parameters” to automatically include the following UTM parameters on the URL.

 - **utm_source**: is the post type
- **utm_medium**: is the block name
- **utm_campaign**: is the post title
- **utm_content**: is the block text or image URL

  The button block will now redirect the user to the set URL when clicked.

 ## How to close a campaign

 To close a campaign when the button block is clicked, follow the steps below:

 **Step 1:** Open the “On Click” dropdown and select the “Close Campaign” action.

  **Step 2:** Select the campaign to close. You can either select the current campaign or any other published campaign.

  The button will now close the selected campaign when clicked.

 ## How to open another campaign

 To open a campaign when the button block is clicked, follow the steps below:

 **Step 1:** Open the “On Click” dropdown and select the “Open Another Campaign” action.

  **Step 2:** Select which campaign to open

  The button will now open the selected campaign when clicked.

 ## How to copy to clipboard

 To copy text to the clipboard when the button block is clicked, follow the steps below:

 **Step 1:** Open the “On Click” dropdown and select the “Copy to Clipboard” action.

  **Step 2:** Set the text to copy to clipboard

  When the button is clicked, the set text will be automatically copied to the clipboard.

 ## How to download a file

 To download a file when the button block is clicked, follow the steps below:

 **Step 1:** Open the “On Click” dropdown and select the “Download File” action.

  **Step 2:** Set the File URL to download

  The button will now force the file to download when clicked.

 Note that this will only force the file to be downloaded when the file is stored on the site, and is not a 3rd-party URL.
