Introducing buttons
A button invites interaction. It offers your teammates a clear, safe way to update or add to a doc. So collaborators can become users, and your doc can become an app.

Not everyone in your Coda doc cares to look under the hood. Sometimes your teammates are only there to update a status or add a single task, and worry if they touch a row, the whole thing will break. Or maybe they don’t worry enough and actually break something.
A button solves that. A button invites interaction. It offers your teammates a clear, safe way to update or add to a doc. So collaborators can become users, and your doc can become an app.
Pressing a button can add, modify, and delete a row in any table. It can even push another button. One day Coda buttons will be able to trigger actions of all sorts, like order a pizza or send a push notification. But for right now, this is pretty cool. Here are a few of our favorites, which you can copy
.The “Add Contact” Button
Make it easy for your entire sales team to keep up the CRM. This button pops open a new row detail.
The “Upvote/Downvote” Button
Tell your team to up-vote or down-vote questions or ideas before a big meeting.
The “Start Timer” Button
Use this Start Timer button to keep meetings on track.
