Link Types

Go beyond regular links — add Google Maps, mobile app links, books, discount codes, FAQs, Typeform, and Google Form embeds.

Beyond Regular Links

Lnkk.it supports 7 advanced link types beyond standard URLs and media embeds. These create special interactive cards on your page — maps, app download buttons, book cards with retailers, discount codes, FAQ accordions, and form embeds. Access all of them through the "+ Add" button in the Live Editor.

7 Advanced Link Types

Each creates a unique interactive card

Google Maps

Share a location embed. Paste a Google Maps URL and it renders as an interactive map card on your page. Great for businesses, restaurants, and event venues.

URL pattern: google.com/maps, maps.google.com, goo.gl/maps

Mobile App

Link to your app on the App Store or Google Play. Paste an app store URL and it shows a download card with the app icon and store badge.

URL pattern: apps.apple.com, play.google.com

Books

Promote your books with cover image, description, and retailer links (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.). Supports multiple display modes and layout options.

URL pattern: Manual entry with retailer links

Discount Code

Share promo codes as a special card. Visitors can see the code and copy it with one click. Great for promoting deals and offers.

URL pattern: Manual entry

FAQs

Add frequently asked questions as expandable accordion items. Visitors can click to expand each answer. Reduces support inquiries.

URL pattern: Manual entry

Typeform

Embed Typeform surveys and forms directly on your page. Paste a Typeform URL and it renders as an interactive embed.

URL pattern: typeform.com

Google Form

Embed Google Forms and surveys. Paste a Google Forms URL and it renders inline on your page for easy submissions.

URL pattern: docs.google.com/forms, forms.gle

How to Add Advanced Links

1

Click "+ Add"

Open the Universal Add Modal from the floating button at the bottom-right.

2

Find the link type

Browse the platform list or search by name (e.g. "maps", "books", "FAQs"). You can also paste a URL and auto-detection kicks in.

3

Fill in the form

Each link type has its own form — for books: title, cover, retailers; for FAQs: question and answer pairs; for discount codes: code and description.

4

Save

Click save and the interactive card appears on your page. It follows your card layout style.

Books — Deep Dive

The Books link type is especially powerful for authors. It supports:

Book title, author name, and description fields

Cover image upload or URL for the book cover

Multiple retailer links (Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, etc.)

Display modes: retailers list or custom layout

Layout options: classic or enhanced

Optional price display per retailer

Auto-fetch book metadata from URLs

Tips

Google Maps embeds are great for local businesses — visitors see the location without leaving your page

Mobile App links auto-detect App Store vs Play Store and show the appropriate badge

FAQs reduce support inquiries — add your most common questions to save time

Discount codes with one-click copy get much higher usage than plain text codes

Typeform and Google Form embeds let visitors fill out surveys inline — higher completion rates

Advanced links follow your card layout style and theme colors just like regular links
