AI & LLMs
Bring AI-powered web search and content retrieval into your workflows and apps.
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 webRuns 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 pageFetches 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.
