Ive been making my own buttons for a while now before i noticed this block in the dashboard ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/getstructure/original/2X/9/98bb9b7671b969b466a78417854eb21a48f6b9ce.png) A lot of my buttons make request to outside services and/or do something upon the return of the results. So being able to do that in the buttons “designed” for the dashboard would be helpful! ---

Thanks for the suggestion. What you’re asking for is tricky, though, as we’d be executing arbitrary user code in the same scope as the rest of the application - as compared to a [Custom HTML Block](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/blocks/custom-html/), which is run in its own sandboxed iframe so we can allow code exection. I’d recommend recreating your input controls UI within such a block.
