How create external link, on deal object page, and pass deal properties in querystring

Hi all, I've searched the doc and am familiar with Hubspot API but i can't seem to find a way to create an external link or button, on deal object page, and pass deal properties in querystring.

So, if user has pulled up a specific Deal detail page in HS and needs to generate a quote on our external website, they could click this new property/link/button and it would grab a few Deal fields from the current page and embed them into querystring.

For example, when property/link/button is clicked on Deal page, it would dynamically build and go to this url: www.exampleQuote.com?prospectName=<valueOf_ProspectNameProperty>&prospectBudget=<valueOf_ProspectBudgetProperty>

We've used webhooks to do this in the past, but currently our webhooks don't trigger for 30 seconds to 3 mins AFTER the user Saves the Deal ... I guess due to excessive server load at Hubspot...? So, is there some way to do this withOUT using webhooks, so that response is instant?
Thanks!

I am wondering if the CRM Card extension would be a possible replacement for webhooks

Hi Dennis, thanks for reply. My understanding of CRM Cards is that they can retrieve data from external system. BUT I don't need to do that. I simply need an external sytem URL to show on Hubspot Deal object-page WITH querystring params pulled directly from the current Deal object-page, like:
www.externalExampleQuote.com?prospectName=<valueOf_Hubspots_ProspectNameProperty>&prospectBudget=<valueOf_Hubspots_ProspectBud...

@jbrillante , but you can send data to your app as well!

My thought was that you create a custom card that displays the URL.

You will send the properties to your system that will generate the URL
