# Linkup

# 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.
