# AX - Social Links

Displays a set of links to social media profiles as styled icons or buttons, each with its own platform, colors, and target.

## Overview

**AX - Social Links** is an Experience Cloud component that displays links to your social media profiles as a row or grid of styled icons on Experience Sites pages.

Use it to connect portal users to your presence on platforms like LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, and more. Each link supports a platform type, custom colors, a custom icon or image, and an optional new-tab target. Configure the links, layout, and styling in Experience Builder without code.

Perfect for site footers, "Connect with us" sections, profile pages, or anywhere you want to surface social media links.

## Configuration

### Properties

**Variant** sets the shape and style of each link: `default`, `square`, `circle`, or `boxed-icon`.

**Size** sets the icon size: `x-small`, `small`, `medium`, or `large`.

**Layout Attributes** control how the links are arranged — the number of columns per container breakpoint (smallest, small, medium, and large containers), the layout type, and the row and column gaps between links.

**Items** define the social links themselves. Each item has:

* **Type** — the platform (`linkedin`, `x`, `facebook`, `instagram`, `youtube`, `tiktok`, `whatsApp`, and many more, or `other` for a custom link).
* **Label** — the accessible label for the link.
* **Href** — the URL the link points to, with **Open in New Tab** to control the target.
* **Color** / **Color Hover** and **Background Color** / **Background Color Hover** — the icon and background colors for the default and hover states.
* **Custom Icon** / **Image Src** — a custom icon or image to use instead of the built-in platform icon.

## Styling

Style the links from the property editor using the per-item **Color**, **Background Color**, and their hover variants (see **Items** above), together with the **Variant** and **Size** settings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.avonnicomponents.com/experience-cloud/experience-components/ax-social-links.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
