I’d like in the user’s sheet to have a place where the user can enter their facebook url profile such as [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/john.doe3). Then I’d like to go that html on various places in the app. How can I do that?

You will need to be on a paid plan to use the web embed component.

**In the Data Editor**

- In the users table, create a basic URL column to store the URL of the social media profile.

**In the Layout Editor**

- On the user profile screen, use a text entry component to allow the user to enter the URL of their social media profile.
- Display the social media profile by using a ‘`Web embed`’ component.

**Things to look out for**

- The URL will need to include http or https
- Not all website allow themselves to be embedded.

- Add an Experimental Code column and add this URL to it: `https://thinhdinhlca.github.io/generate-social-icon-list/`

- Add the Facebook URLs, and any other links you need.

- Use a rich text component to display the result on the screen. It would look like this.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, Facebook does not let me embed the URL. However, I was able to use the rich text box and create a hyperlink.

The button or action components might also be useful here.
