Want to add interactive links to your publications in just seconds? With Calaméo, you can now automate this step and save valuable time when creating your content.

In this article, we introduce our new video tutorial: “How to use the automatic link detector”, a practical guide that shows you how to quickly turn your URLs into clickable links and optimize your workflow.

Why use automatic link detection?

Digital publications are designed to be interactive, seamless, and performance-driven. Links play a key role, but adding them manually can quickly become time-consuming—especially when there are many.

Automatic link detection allows you to:

  • Save time by avoiding repetitive manual actions
  • Ensure you don’t miss important links in your pages
  • Simplify the management of content rich in URLs
  • Improve the user experience with smoother navigation

In just a few clicks, your links are detected and converted automatically. An ideal solution for long or complex publications.

Simplified link management in the Calaméo Editor

Built directly into the Calaméo Editor, the automatic link detector instantly identifies all URLs in your document.

No more going through each page to find and add links manually—the tool does it for you.

In one click:

  • The Editor detects all URLs in your text
  • You can instantly turn them into interactive links

To go even further, you can also use custom mapping. This option allows you to import a table containing your links and automatically apply them to specific words or phrases.

This feature is especially useful for:

  • Product catalogs
  • Digital magazines
  • White papers
  • Annual reports
  • Brochures and guides

A video tutorial to guide you

To help you get started with this feature, we’ve created a simple and effective video tutorial.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • Where to find the automatic link detector in the Editor
  • How to use automatic detection
  • How to set up custom mapping
  • How links appear in your publication

You can also check out our Help Center article to learn more about how to use this feature.
