Hey Gliders,
Hope that someone might have a suggestion š
I have an app where users paste links and then they need to provide the title and description. Iām trying to simplify the process so that once the users add a link, I would like to _somehow_ fetch the title and description from the URL.
Unfortunately, the fetch function in sheets doesnāt work on array formula ā¹
Any idea on how to fetch the metadata from a URL to a link that is added to glide?
Thanks!

Not sure if this helps, but the Link Component actually does most of that for youā¦

Itās the Link component in the components list, under the Buttons category.

Got it. Thanks for your help, but that only allows me to show the title of a link in a link component.
I want to show the title and description of a link in other components.
I want to use the title and description as values and to be able to present them in components (without asking the user to give me the title manually, like I do now)
- A user is adding an an item using a form (this is a form to add an event to a calander). one of the fields is a link (external) to the virtual event
- I want to pull the title and description automatically from the URL and add it to the events I show.
I want to show those events on the app, with their title and subtitle
(Here is a the app I am reffering to: RoomsIL.club)

If youāre not afraid of a bit of Apps Script, that would be quite trivial using the UrlFetchApp class.
