Quick Links

Show some tiles as quick links to other pages or external URLs.

Our Quick Links block looks like a dynamic list block, but it’s actually a super convenient way to show a polished grid of tiles to act as links to other pages in your app or even external URLs. Here’s when it might make sense to use the Quick Links block:

  • Showing a list of most commonly accessed forms in your Softr app

  • Providing users quick access to a list of external tools or sites.

  • Displaying a customized list of links to other pages based on User Group.

  • Showcasing a list of static features, icons, or images - maybe you don’t need to link to anything!

To add a Quick Links block:

  1. In Softr Studio, open your app and navigate to the page in your Softr app that you want to add the block to.

  2. Hover over and click on the plus icon on the page.

  3. Select the Static tab to open the list of Static blocks.

  4. Open the Quick Links dropdown and select the Quick Links block to add it.

  • Layout: Choose between horizontally oriented cards or vertically oriented cards. Here you can also control the card width, the card’s content alignment, whether to use icons or images, the label/icon position, whether to show or hide the arrow guidance icons, and other options.

  • Links: Here you can add or remove links and customize their name, their icon/image, and change where they link to and how the link should be opened.

  • Embed: Once you have published your application, you can get an embed code to embed just the Quick Links block in another website or application. Note that if the block is behind a user group or login, it may not be visible. If you plan to Embed the block, make sure it’s publicly accessible.

Styles

In this tab, you can edit the overall styling of the Quick Links such as rounding, card colors, title and subtitle fonts/colors, and more. Note that much of the styling is inherited from the app theme itself.

  • searchFind the passages that answer a question.
  • fetchRead one page in full, as Markdown.
  • list_pagesSee every page in this documentation.

Query these docs over HTTP

The same tools also work as plain web requests. Use this for scripts, or for any tool that does not support MCP. There is one endpoint per tool. Arguments go in the query string, and the answer comes back as JSON.

https://docs.softr.io/api/docs/search?query=custom+domain

Read the OpenAPI description. It is built from the same definitions as the tools, so it always matches what the endpoints do.

Read these docs as Markdown

Add .md to any page URL to get its Markdown source. You can also send the headerAccept: text/markdown to the page URL itself.

To read the whole documentation in one file, open llms-full.txt. For a short index of every page, open llms.txt.
