[Template] Smart Bookmarks
Displays links related to the page you're on, taken from a Google sheet
by @pixies
How to Use
Use the Quick Bar to pull up a list of links in the Sidebar, which you define in a Google Sheet. You can add as many links as you want and set each link to appear on a specific host page or every page.
Requirements
Google Sheet: To start, create a Google Sheet with three columns to define which links appear on which pages in the sidebar. Your sheet 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)
The tab should be named Resources.
Here's an Example Google Sheet 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.

Use Case Ideas
👤 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
