Hi there!
I was wondering if there’s a way to add meta and Open Graph tags to a Glide App. Something like:
```html
```
Ideally, I’d like to post a link in Discord, Slack, etc., and get a nicer-looking embed.
Thanks in advance!

I’m not sure you can do this. My workaround in the past is using [Short.io](http://Short.io) and use their API here.

Hi to all.
I tried to use this approach but it doesn’t work in Facebook. It seems that Facebook goes to the target url to get the metadata 😕
Maybe I’m configuring something wrong…

Can you show me how you’re doing it? There’s also a [Sharing Debugger](https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/) you can use to check how your link would look.

I’m curious if you were able to get this to work. I’d like to share screen with a nice preview image of something on the screen.

Are you able to get this to work for your Glide app? where do you put the code, in a code component block? Thanks!

I was able to a few years ago, but I stopped that project and was unable to find the scenario to give a screenshot here.
I used [Make.com](http://Make.com). What I did was basically everytime a new article is posted in my app, I send the URL to Make, process it in [Short.io](http://Short.io) with a domain I registered, then use the PUT call I linked to above to update its metadata. I usually share those articles on Facebook, so the Sharing Debugger helped me to see if the metadata has been updated or not.

An alternative is changing them manually in the [Short.io](http://Short.io) dashboard.

thanks, this all makes sense except what you’re saying about using the PUT call. Can you expand on that?
Also, I notice there is an integration in Glide’s Actions for [short.io](http://short.io). Couldn’t we just use that?

Sorry, I should have added this API link.

The integration only allows you to shorten URLs and nothing else.
