Link Field

The Link field stores any text as a clickable URL, making it easy to access external websites and pages directly from a record.


For instructions on how to access field types or how to add one, see Field Types.



Capabilities

  • Store any URL as a clickable link
  • Mark the field as required to enforce data entry
  • Add a tooltip to guide users on what to enter
  • Works with any valid URL format (websites, WhatsApp links, profile pages, internal links, etc.)

Step 3 — Enter a name for the field.

Step 4 (optional) — Enable Tooltip to add a hint for users filling in the field.

Step 5 (optional) — Check Required field if the field must be filled before saving a record.

Use cases and examples

  • A Leads table storing each company's website URL for quick access
  • A Clients table with a direct link to each client's WhatsApp conversation
  • An Employees table linking to each person's LinkedIn or internal profile page
  • A Projects table referencing external resources, docs, or dashboards
  • A Tasks table with a direct link to the related Jestor record or internal page for quick navigation

Keep in mind

  • The field does not validate whether the URL actually exists or is reachable — it only stores the text as a link.
  • It does not automatically format or clean up the URL (e.g., adding https:// if missing).

FAQ

1- Can I store multiple links in a single Link field?

No. The Link field stores one URL per record. To store multiple links, create additional Link fields or use a text field with a list format.

2- Does the field check if the URL is valid before saving?

No. The field accepts any text as a link. It does not validate whether the URL is correctly formatted or leads to an active page.

3- What happens if I leave out the https:// from the URL?

The link may not open correctly. Always include the full URL with the protocol (e.g., https://) to ensure it works as expected.
