Links

Links are the main building blocks in linkembed. Each link has a URL that you share; when someone opens it, they either see embedded content or are sent to another website (redirect). You manage all links from the Links section of your workspace dashboard.

Two types of links

• Embed links — The content (e.g. a Google Doc, Dropbox file, or embeddable page) loads inside the linkembed page. Visitors stay on your URL. You provide either an https link or embed code.
• Redirect links — The link sends the visitor to another URL. Useful when the source doesn’t allow embedding or you just want a short, branded link to somewhere else.

What each link has

Every link has a title (for you and for the browser tab) and a slug—the last part of the URL. The slug must use only letters, numbers, and dashes and must be unique within the same folder (or at the root). You can optionally put the link in a folder, assign a custom domain (if you have one), and protect access with either a password or email protection so only approved viewers can open it.

For embed links you can also choose embed scaling: small (fixed 400px height), medium (600px), or fullscreen so the content fills the window.

How the URL is built

By default, a link’s URL is your workspace subdomain plus the path. If the link is in a folder, the folder path comes first. Examples:

• No folder: yourworkspace.linkembed.io/my-slug
• In a folder: yourworkspace.linkembed.io/folder-name/my-slug

If you use a custom domain (for the link, the folder, or the workspace default), that domain replaces the linkembed.io subdomain for that link.

Creating and editing

Use the create button to add a new embed or redirect link. Fill in title, slug, and either embed input (link or code) or redirect URL. You can edit any link later to change the title, slug, folder, domain, password, or embed/redirect content. Copy the link’s URL from the dashboard to share it.

If you want to allow only specific people or company domains, see Email protection in Core Features.

Limitations

linkembed does not bypass third-party or browser restrictions:

• We do not bypass CSP, X-Frame-Options, or other embedding restrictions from source sites.
• We do not proxy or modify third-party content; behavior depends on the origin.
• Embed behavior is platform-dependent; browser and provider limits are outside our control.
