Enrich, validate, and preview any URL before it leaves your workflow

MarketingProductivityAnalyticsDeveloperSecurityAutomation

Peekalink is a link preview API that lets agents fetch rich, structured metadata for any URL — web pages, documents, images, video, audio, and social links — with a 98% success rate on the top 1,000 websites. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can enrich CRM records with live company website previews, validate outbound links before they ship, run weekly health audits across knowledge bases and tool directories, detect tracker-carrying URLs before they reach customers, and type-route media files — all without anyone manually clicking a link.

Enrich new HubSpot contacts with live website preview

When a new contact is created in HubSpot with a company website URL, the agent checks whether Peekalink can resolve the URL, fetches the live title, description, and favicon, and writes the enriched data back into the contact record — then posts the enriched card to #new-leads. Reps open a new record and see a complete company summary without manually browsing each website.

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    25 min / week
    Manual company website research

    Reps open each new contact, click the company URL, skim the homepage, then manually type a company description into the CRM record — one by one, for every new lead.

    Sales Agent

    Agent enriches every new contact URL automatically

    When a new HubSpot contact has a company URL, the agent fetches the live preview and writes title, description, and favicon into the record before the rep ever opens it.

  • Marketing
    20 min / week
    Manual newsletter link check

    The marketing team manually clicks every link in the newsletter draft, checks that each loads correctly, and notes any that look broken — a process that still misses tracker privacy risks entirely.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates all newsletter URLs automatically

    Before each newsletter finalises, the agent batch-checks availability and tracker flags for every URL and posts a clean pass/fail summary — broken links get fixed before any subscriber sees them.

  • Customer Support
    30 min / week
    Periodic manual knowledge base audits

    Support managers periodically ask team members to click through knowledge base articles to find broken links — an inconsistent, time-consuming process that misses links between audit cycles.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent verifies knowledge base URLs weekly without manual review

    The agent batch-checks all help article URLs, creates Notion tasks for broken articles, and posts a digest to #support-ops — support teams never reference a broken link in a live ticket.

  • Human Resources
    15 min / week
    Manual onboarding link check

    HR team members manually click through every link in the onboarding email template before each cohort, checking that documents open — usually done once a quarter rather than before every send.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent validates onboarding kit links before every welcome email

    Before each new-hire cohort's welcome email, the agent confirms every onboarding document URL is accessible and correct — new hires never land on a broken benefits portal or missing handbook link.

  • Finance
    10 min / week
    Manual vendor portal spot-checks

    The AP team discovers broken vendor portals only when they try to log in during the payment run — sometimes after the deadline window has passed, causing late payment penalties.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent confirms vendor portal URLs live before payment runs

    Before each weekly payment run, the agent confirms every vendor portal URL is reachable — any unavailable portal triggers an immediate alert to the AP team before a payment deadline is missed.

  • Operations
    35 min / week
    Manual tool directory maintenance

    Operations teams maintain internal tool directories by hand — checking links occasionally, manually writing tool descriptions, and discovering broken URLs only when a team member reports clicking a dead link.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent keeps the tool directory accurate and enriched automatically

    The operations agent sweeps every tool URL weekly, enriches new entries with live metadata, and escalates persistently broken tools to IT — the directory stays accurate without anyone maintaining it manually.

  • Legal
    12 min / week
    Manual counterparty website verification

    Legal teams manually browse counterparty websites to confirm entity identity before executing agreements and do not check for tracker fingerprinting risks in the URLs they research.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent verifies counterparty URLs and flags privacy risks at matter creation

    When a contract matter opens with a counterparty URL, the agent confirms the correct entity, checks for trackers, and logs verification to the compliance audit sheet — in under a minute, every time.

FAQs

Questions about Peekalink + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Peekalink?
Go to the Apps tab, find Peekalink, and click Connect. Choose the API key method — you'll need a Peekalink API key from your dashboard at peekalink.io. Copy the key, paste it into the API key field in Actionist, and the agent runs a test call to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
What credentials does Actionist need to call Peekalink?
Peekalink authenticates requests via an API key passed as the X-API-Key header. The key is scoped to your Peekalink account and inherits the quota of your plan (Free, Startup, Growth, or Enterprise). Generate a key in your Peekalink dashboard — no OAuth flow is involved. Treat the key like a password and store it in Actionist's encrypted credential store.
Does Peekalink work with file types other than web pages?
Yes. Peekalink supports web pages, images, PDFs and other documents, audio, video, YouTube, and social links (Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and more). For file types, it returns metadata like file size, mime type, and a thumbnail where available. The Is preview available check lets you test support before fetching the full preview.
How does Peekalink's tracker detection protect user privacy?
Peekalink fetches and caches previews server-side — your users' browsers never contact the target URL directly. This prevents tracker pixels and fingerprinting scripts from seeing your users' IP addresses. Peekalink's tracker-detection feature flags URLs known to carry trackers so agents can surface a warning before sharing those links.
What are the most common things agents do with Peekalink?
Common patterns: (1) enriching CRM records — when a prospect shares a URL, the agent fetches its preview and writes the title, description, and thumbnail into the contact record; (2) content curation — the agent checks whether a preview is available before adding a URL to a newsletter or digest, skipping broken or unresolvable links; (3) chat link enrichment — before posting a URL into a Slack message, the agent retrieves the preview and formats it as a rich block; (4) link validation — the agent verifies that key marketing or documentation URLs return valid previews and alerts the team if they break.
How quickly does Peekalink return a preview, and how does caching work?
Peekalink uses a global CDN and smart caching layer. After the first fetch of a URL, repeated requests for the same link are served from cache within about a minute of being populated. Peekalink automatically refreshes cached previews in the background so stale titles and thumbnails are replaced without requiring you to bust the cache manually.
How do I avoid wasting API calls on links Peekalink can't preview?
Use the Is preview available action before calling Return preview. This lightweight check tells you whether Peekalink can resolve the URL without consuming a full preview API call on an unsupported or broken link. For bulk URL processing — validating a list of marketing links or checking a spreadsheet of prospects' websites — running availability checks first reduces API usage significantly on links that would fail.
Which Peekalink plan should I choose for agent-driven link enrichment?
Peekalink offers Free, Startup, Growth, and Enterprise plans. All plans grant access to both API operations (preview + availability check). The plans differ in monthly request quota, concurrency, SLA, and support level. If your agents run high-volume link enrichment pipelines, move to a Growth or Enterprise plan — the per-request cost drops sharply and you gain dedicated infrastructure for consistent latency.
