The 16 BioLink widgets — complete reference

Every bio page on 1smart.link is assembled from widgets — modular content blocks you stack in any order to build your page. There are 16 widget types, each designed for a specific job. This reference describes every widget's purpose, key fields, and when to use it.

Tip: All widgets share three cross-cutting features: a per-widget pixel selector (attach your retargeting pixel to individual widgets), widget-level click tracking (see how each widget performs in your analytics), and URL safety scanning (links are checked automatically).

Button

A general-purpose call-to-action link. Displays an emoji icon, title, optional subtext, and a chevron arrow. If you leave the URL empty, the button renders as a non-clickable block — useful as a visual label or placeholder.

FieldDescription
Emoji iconDecorative icon shown to the left of the title
TitlePrimary button text
SubtextSecondary line beneath the title
URLDestination link (leave empty for a static, non-clickable block)

Best for: driving traffic to a single destination — a landing page, product listing, sign-up form, or any external URL.

Text

A paragraph block for adding descriptive copy to your bio page. Supports four alignment options: left, centre, right, and justified.

FieldDescription
ContentThe paragraph text you want to display
AlignmentLeft, centre, right, or justified

Best for: introductions, disclaimers, descriptions, or any freeform copy between other widgets.

Header

A section header that visually separates groups of widgets on your page. Like the Text widget, it supports alignment but is styled as a heading rather than body copy.

FieldDescription
Heading textThe section title
AlignmentLeft, centre, right, or justified

Best for: organising long bio pages into labelled sections (e.g. "My Products", "Get in Touch", "Follow Me").

Social

A horizontal row of social-media icons. Supports 13 platforms, each rendered as a full SVG logo for crisp display at any screen size.

FieldDescription
Platform linksOne URL per platform you want to display

Best for: giving visitors quick access to all your social profiles in a single, compact row.

Deep Link

A platform-specific link that opens the target app directly on mobile. Uses native app URL schemes with a graceful browser fallback — if the app is not installed, the visitor lands on the web version instead. Title and subtitle stack vertically.

FieldDescription
TitlePrimary label
SubtitleSecondary description beneath the title
Deep link URLThe native app URL scheme
Fallback URLThe browser-based fallback destination

Best for: sending visitors straight into a specific app screen — an Instagram profile, a YouTube video, a Spotify playlist — without the friction of in-app browsers.

Video

A video card with a built-in call-to-action button. You can style the button colours and choose its alignment independently from the card.

FieldDescription
TitleCard heading
DescriptionSupporting text
PriceOptional price label
CTA button textLabel for the action button
CTA button URLDestination when the button is tapped
Button coloursBackground and text colour for the CTA button
AlignmentCard content alignment

Best for: promoting video courses, paid tutorials, webinars, or any content where you want to combine a video preview with a purchase or sign-up action.

Music

A music card designed for streaming platforms. Supports Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

FieldDescription
Music URLLink to the track, album, or playlist on a supported platform

Best for: musicians, podcasters, and creators who want listeners to jump straight to their content on a preferred streaming service.

Shop

A product carousel for showcasing items directly on your bio page. A single product displays as a clean, centred card with a square image. Two or more products appear in a horizontal carousel — navigation arrows on desktop, dot indicators on mobile.

FieldDescription
ProductsOne or more product entries, each with an image (square), title, price, and link

Best for: Amazon sellers showcasing their catalogue, creators selling merchandise, or anyone linking to multiple products from one page.

Coupon

A tap-to-copy coupon code card. Visitors tap the button and the code is copied to their clipboard instantly. The button text, button background colour, and button text colour are all editable independently from the card's own colour scheme.

FieldDescription
Coupon codeThe code visitors will copy
Button textCustom label for the copy button
Button coloursSeparate background and text colours for the button
Card coloursBackground and text colours for the card itself

Best for: sharing discount codes, promo codes, or referral codes — especially on packaging inserts or social posts where you want one-tap convenience.

Link Spin

A weighted URL rotation widget. You add multiple destination URLs, each with a weight from 1 to 10. When a visitor taps the widget, the server picks a URL from the weighted pool — higher-weight URLs are selected more often.

FieldDescription
URLsTwo or more destination links
Weight (per URL)A value from 1 to 10 controlling selection probability
SubtitleOptional descriptive text

Best for: A/B testing landing pages, distributing traffic across multiple storefronts, or rotating affiliate links proportionally.

Gallery

A smart-rendering image widget. A single image displays as a clean, centred hero. Two or more images render in a two-row carousel grid with a built-in lightbox. Visitors can swipe through images on mobile or use keyboard navigation on desktop.

FieldDescription
ImagesOne or more image uploads

Best for: product photography, portfolios, event photos, or any visual showcase where you want visitors to browse without leaving the page.

PDF

A download card styled for documents. Displays a portrait cover image alongside a title, description, and optional price. A download button lets visitors grab the file directly.

FieldDescription
Cover imagePortrait-oriented preview of the document
TitleDocument name
DescriptionBrief summary of the contents
PriceOptional price label
ButtonDownload action button

Best for: e-books, whitepapers, menus, catalogues, media kits, or any downloadable document you want to present professionally.

vCard

A digital contact card. When a visitor taps the button, the server generates a .vcf file on the fly and delivers it as a download — the contact is added straight to their phone or email client.

FieldDescription

EmailsMultiple entries, each with a custom label

WhatsApp

A branded click-to-chat button using the official WhatsApp SVG logo on a green button. Supports five distinct types to cover every WhatsApp use case.

Best for: customer support, community building, pre-sales conversations, or connecting visitors to your WhatsApp presence instantly.

Smart Form

A lead-capture form embedded directly on your bio page. You define the fields, mark each as required or optional, and customise the submit button text and thank-you message. Submissions are delivered via webhook only — no data is stored on 1smart.link servers.

Field typeDescription
TextSingle-line text input
EmailEmail address input
PhonePhone number input
Long textMulti-line textarea
DropdownSelect menu with custom options you define

Additional settings:

  • Required toggle — set per field
  • Submit button text — custom label
  • Thank-you message — shown after successful submission
  • Webhook URL — destination for form data (the only delivery method)

Warning: Smart Form does not store submissions on the server. Make sure your webhook endpoint is active and reliable before publishing the form.

Best for: collecting leads, gathering RSVPs, running quick surveys, or capturing contact details — especially useful when paired with a CRM or automation tool that accepts webhooks.

Cross-cutting features

Every widget on your bio page benefits from three platform-wide capabilities:

  • Per-widget pixel selector — attach a retargeting pixel to any individual widget, so you can build audiences based on who interacted with specific content.
  • Widget-level click tracking — each widget records its own click data, visible in your analytics dashboard.
  • URL safety scanning — all URLs added to widgets are scanned automatically to protect your visitors from malicious destinations.
