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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Emoji icon | Decorative icon shown to the left of the title |
| Title | Primary button text |
| Subtext | Secondary line beneath the title |
| URL | Destination 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Content | The paragraph text you want to display |
| Alignment | Left, 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Heading text | The section title |
| Alignment | Left, 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Platform links | One 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Primary label |
| Subtitle | Secondary description beneath the title |
| Deep link URL | The native app URL scheme |
| Fallback URL | The 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Title | Card heading |
| Description | Supporting text |
| Price | Optional price label |
| CTA button text | Label for the action button |
| CTA button URL | Destination when the button is tapped |
| Button colours | Background and text colour for the CTA button |
| Alignment | Card 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Music URL | Link 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Products | One 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Coupon code | The code visitors will copy |
| Button text | Custom label for the copy button |
| Button colours | Separate background and text colours for the button |
| Card colours | Background 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| URLs | Two or more destination links |
| Weight (per URL) | A value from 1 to 10 controlling selection probability |
| Subtitle | Optional 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Images | One 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.
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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Cover image | Portrait-oriented preview of the document |
| Title | Document name |
| Description | Brief summary of the contents |
| Price | Optional price label |
| Button | Download 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.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Full name |
| Job title | Role or position |
| Company | Organisation name |
| Phones | Multiple entries, each with a custom label |
| Emails | Multiple entries, each with a custom label |
| Website | Primary URL |
| Address | Structured address (street, city, region, postcode, country) |
| Photo | Contact photo |
| Social platforms | Up to 13 social profile URLs |
Best for: networking events, conference badges, packaging inserts, or any context where you want people to save your full contact details in one tap.
Events
An event listing widget displaying key details at a glance.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date/time | When the event takes place |
| Location | Venue or online meeting link |
| Description | Event details and context |
Best for: promoting upcoming webinars, meetups, product launches, or live streams directly on your bio page.
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.
| Type | What it does |
|---|---|
| Click to Chat | Opens a direct chat with your number, with an optional pre-filled message |
| Channel | Links to your WhatsApp Channel |
| Group Invite | Opens a group invite link |
| Business Catalogue | Links to your WhatsApp Business catalogue |
| Custom Link | Any custom WhatsApp URL |
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 type | Description |
|---|---|
| Text | Single-line text input |
| Email address input | |
| Phone | Phone number input |
| Long text | Multi-line textarea |
| Dropdown | Select 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.
