912 Push button door handle not opening from outside

In regards to the Porsche 912 push button door handle, the linkage on the inside of the door catches when opening with the interior handle but does not catch when pushing the button from the outside. Can you direct me to the replacement parts that I should be looking for.

You'll need to remove the exterior door handle and check to see what is broken. These are pretty solid, and I think what you might find is that the lever the push button pushes is sticky and will not let the push button engage, OR an issue with the lock mechanism. Better for you to check before I offer a parts kit.
