This is my first time posting. Wondering if there is a way that one a user clicks on a hyperlink in a storyline project that we could have it autologin to that site?
It is actually our own portal site for my company. Would this be something that needs done on the site's page. I'm not very familiar with this kind of stuff but since it runs on a computer i get the privilege of trying to make it work LOL. Thanks for any help you can give
I don't think this is something you could control in Storyline unless you're able to set up some Javascript coding. That's outside my wheelhouse and support capabilities - so I'll defer to our community experts.
Here is a link talking about how to auto login using html/javascript
Storyline can generate an html file using the execute javascript trigger, so perhaps you can generate an HTML page like in that example and fill it with the username/password you need.
Here is an example of generating an html page in storyline, it is being used to generate a certificate, but you can use the document.write() function to fill the page with the html/JS code from the example above.
I've never tried this before so its all theory, I think you should try to work with your website's developers to try to get this to work since they have more knowledge about how your site works. I hope this helps!
Hi Ken, I am trying to do the same thing. Were you able to make it work? If yes, do you mind sharing the javascript that you used. I am going to check out the links Jackson added. Thanks!

Which site are you trying to automatically log in to?
I think you would need to contact the site that you want them to auto login to and see if this is possible.
