Create a solution in Power Apps

Open make.powerapps.com choose correct environment and click on Solutions option then create a new solution. Give a name of solution, version, select default publisher and click create.

open the solution just created and add the Account entity without any sub component using Add Existing option.

Open Ribbon Workbench and choose solution

Now select the Solution created from solution pop-up screen on Ribbon Workbench tool.

now it will load the entity in ribbon workbench. The Ribbon workbench will show multiple areas at he top it shows Home then Subgrid and then Form section. You need to select the correct area to add buttons. For our example we are going to add button on Account form so the section required is FORM.

Click on on the BUTTON option from left bottom option and drag the button on the Form section and drop at right place like as I placed the button after Save button. Now click on the commands option and click plus icon to add an action. we can choose URL action or JavaScript action for a button. Let us choose URL action and in the URL action and in the address mention the target URL as “https://www.google.com”

Now go to Button option and provide the button label and choose the command.

Now click on Publish and it will take some time to publish. Once published open Account form now you can see the button showing on command bar of account form and on clicking the button it will open google site.
