Linkup integration
Connect Linkup with your Softr applications to add grounded, real-time web search and page fetching to your workflows. Use Linkup to feed up-to-date context into AI prompts, power research automations, or extract content from any webpage on demand.
Overview
The Softr Linkup integration allows you to call Linkup’s web search and page fetch APIs directly from your workflows. Ask a natural-language question and get a synthesized answer with citations, or fetch a single URL and receive clean markdown that’s ready to plug into an AI prompt or a database record.
With Softr, you can search the web, retrieve page content, and combine the results with any other action — send to Slack, store in a tablespace, or enrich a CRM record — all without code.
Available Actions
Search the web
Runs a natural-language web search and returns a synthesized answer backed by a list of sources. Supports standard (1 credit) and deep (10 credits) search modes, domain include/exclude filters, and publication-date filters.
Fetch page
Fetches a single URL and returns a cleaned markdown representation of the page. Optionally extracts images and includes the raw HTML. Supports JavaScript rendering for SPAs and client-rendered pages.
Key Benefits
- Grounded AI context: Give your AI actions up-to-date, source-cited information instead of relying on model training data.
- No-code simplicity: Configure searches and fetches visually in Softr — no external scripts or scraping setup.
- Credit-metered: Pay only for what you use; choose standard or deep search per call based on the precision you need.
- Composable: Pipe Linkup results straight into AI prompts, databases, Slack messages, or any other workflow action.
