Open Website with Dynamo

1

Is it possible to have Dynamo open a website? I would like to supply a URL and have Dynamo open the default web browser and navigate to the URL.

This seems simple enough but I have not found any way to do it with OOTB nodes or packages.

Thanks in advance!

DynamoAutomation has a Process.Start node (or at least I think that‘s how I named it). If you supply the URL as input I think it should open in the default browser.

Hey Andreas,

Thanks for the reply! I downloaded the package but the only thing close is “Process.ByPathAndArguments”, which is not reporting an error but also not opening a browser.

Hey Andreas,

Wanted to post my solution here in case anyone runs across the thread. Just a few lines of Python got me there. Thanks again for looking into it!

Youre missing a python module named sqlite3

This is great - is there any way it can open with whatever the default browser is?

Thanks!
