Custom Links

Add custom quick-link buttons to the Flotiq editor sidebar for frequently used external tools.

What this plugin does

The Custom Links plugin lets administrators add configurable shortcut buttons to the Flotiq editor sidebar. Each button is a link - to an external tool, a staging environment, a CRM record, a Jira ticket, or any other URL - and can be configured to include values from the content object's own fields using a template syntax (e.g. https://my-blog/post/{slug}). This makes it easy to build contextual links that are unique per content object. For example, a link that opens the corresponding page in your analytics platform, or a link that navigates directly to the matching record in your CRM - all built from field values in the current object using curly-brace interpolation. Nested fields and list fields are also supported (e.g. {internal.createdAt} or {addresses[0].city}). Administrators configure the links once per content type; editors see the resulting buttons in the sidebar whenever they open an object of that type. Links can be restricted to specific content types or shown globally across all types, depending on how each link item is configured.
