Social Links That Only Show What You Fill In
List your networks once. Visitors see icons for the ones you use, in the order you choose, and nothing for the ones you leave blank.
The networks you can link
The list covers the networks most professionals use. Each has a link field and its own visibility switch.
- Facebook, LinkedIn, X and WhatsApp
- Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and WeChat
- Telegram, Snapchat, Pinterest and Talentsky
- Custom links for anything else
Only the networks you fill in show
A network with no link cannot be switched on, and an empty network is saved as not visible. A visitor never sees an icon that goes nowhere, and you never have to hide the ones you do not use.
Links are checked before they save
Each field knows which web addresses belong to that network, including common short forms such as lnkd.in or youtu.be. If an address does not match, the editor tells you what it expects and shows an example. The bad address is not saved: your last good link stays live until you fix it.
Order and custom accounts
Drag the handle beside any row to change the order. A custom link has a label, an icon you pick from the icon chooser, and an https address, and it sits in the same list so it can be dragged to any position. Remove a custom link with the trash icon.
Company controls
Owners manage this from Bio / Profile settings, under Social Media Settings. The rules apply to every member.
- Preset a link per network. Members see it read-only, marked as set by the company
- Hide a network, so it is gone from member pages and settings
- Lock a network, so it is always shown and members cannot hide it
- Unlocked company links can be hidden by a member but never edited
- Choose whether members may add custom accounts
Where visitors see them
Visible networks appear as a row of icons in your profile card, under your contact details. Each opens your account in a new window.
Part of the front door, and every visit feeds the CRM
Social icons let people find you where they already spend time, and the page they come back to turns that attention into leads. The Bio / Profile Page is the front door to your business: a visitor who books a meeting, sends the contact form or follows a tracked link ends up as a lead or contact in your CRM, ready for follow-up by email, SMS or Vutesa.
Who it's for
How it works
Open Social Media Settings
Select the social icons area of your page. Every network is listed with a link field and a visibility switch.
Paste your links
Enter the full address including https. The editor checks it belongs to that network.
Order them
Drag the handle to set the order. Custom links can go anywhere, even to the top.
Let it save
Settings save automatically. Networks without a link stay off your page.
What's included
Twelve networks
Facebook, LinkedIn, X, WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, WeChat, Telegram, Snapchat, Pinterest and Talentsky.
Only filled-in networks show
A network with no link cannot be switched on, so empty icons never reach your page.
Link checks
A LinkedIn field accepts LinkedIn addresses, an Instagram field accepts Instagram addresses, and so on. A wrong address shows an example of the right one.
Safe saving
A link that fails the check is not saved. Your last saved address stays live and the editor says how many links need fixing.
Custom accounts
Add a label, pick an icon and paste an https link for any account that is not on the list.
Your own order
Drag networks and custom links into any order.
Company presets
A company can fill in its own link for a network so every member shows it.
Hide and lock
A company can hide a network from every member, or lock one so it is always shown.
How Upward is different
Frequently asked questions
Why is a network's switch greyed out?
A network needs a link before it can be switched on. Add the link and the switch becomes available.
What if my link is rejected?
The editor shows what that network expects, with an example. Until you fix it, your last saved address stays on your page.
Can I add a network that is not listed?
Yes, as a custom link with your own label, icon and https address. Your company can turn this off for members.
Can my company force certain networks onto my page?
Yes. An owner can preset a link and lock it, and a locked network is always shown. An unlocked company link can be hidden by you but not edited.
Can a company hide a network?
Yes. A hidden network does not appear on member pages or in their settings.
Where do the icons appear?
In your profile card, below your contact details. They open in a new window.

Bio / Profile Pages
More than a link in bio. Your Upward page showcases who you are and what you do — and connects every visitor action to your CRM.
Links
Paste a link and Upward fetches the page's screenshot, title and description. Visitors can share any link from a three-dot menu in two taps.
Layouts and header
Five layouts, a header you design, a company color theme, a light and dark switch and a translator. None of them moves a module or edits a word.
Team Replication
Build it once. Give every member their own branded Bio/Profile Page, CRM, calendar, chat and follow-up tools, inside one company system.
CRM
A CRM that fills itself from every touchpoint. Leads, contacts and companies, a pipeline you can shape, and one timeline per person.
Link in Bio
Put one link in your social profile. It opens a page with your favorite links, your social icons and the things people actually want to do: book time, write to you, watch a video, read a review and save your contact.
