Use the Quick Bar to pull up a list of links in the Sidebar, which you define in an Airtable base. You can add as many links as you want and set each link to appear on a specific host page or every page.

Requirements

Airtable: To start, create an Airtable Base with three columns to define which links appear on which pages in the sidebar. Your base must have the following column headers:

• Host (define a host page like "www.pixiebrix.com" or write "everywhere")
• Type (the link or button caption)
• URL (the link)

Here's an Airtable Base with the correct format.

Quick Bar: You must set up the Quick Bar if you have not done so. To do this, follow the Quick Bar setup documentation.

Airtable Integration in PixieBrix: Follow our docs to set up an Airtable integration in PixieBrix.

👤 HR and Recruiting

How many links do you have to access each day? (You're probably thinking, "Too many to count".) Make relevant links appear when needed instead of digging through your bookmarks. Great for:

• Benefits wiki page
• Company helpdesk
• Current jobs page
• Greenhouse links
