Any room for Threads (platform) in this as well?

I also advocate for the possibility of custom social accounts, uploading an icon, because no one will have the same needed channels.

And on an UX point of view, displaying only the icons of channels that have a link

Tom Watts

Please could Google Business Profiles be included in this? Or allow us to add custom profiles.

Cheryl Grimes

Agree below we need TikTok, Spotify but Also discord for all of us in the new adventure known as Web3!! I see Youtube below but it does not show up on socials now

Julian Clarkson

Please also update the existing icons to match the current icons being used today. In addition, I would love to see SoundCloud, Spotify, X (formerly Twitter), and Tiktok

Hello Monica Sharman, 
Here's how we are planning to implement this:
LinkedIn will become flexible in accepting all types of profiles (you can see they first screen shows and individual link, while the second one leads to SmartSuite's corporate profile).
Same goes for YouTube – both User and Channel types will be accepted.
Please, let us know if this solves the use case. 
Best regards,
Artem

Artem Kunytsia: This works great for my use case. Thanks!!

Jurrie Hobers

it should be best if we could add any social channel (with the freedom to upload any icon as recognition, so we can add all important channels we need

Artem Kunytsia

Jurrie Hobers: 
For this level of flexibility you may want to use the Link field type. 
Just be sure to select Link with Favicon display format. 
In this case SmartSuite will autodetect and display the icon of the website. 
Will that work?
Best regards,
Artem

Artem Kunytsia: Thanks ! This is the workaround I've been using for now. It works, then the only great thing would be able to display the icons only in the field, to have the same nice visual appearance of the social field.

Jon Darbyshire Artem Kunytsia I'd like to chime in... the LINK Custom Field is great BUT since you've done an amazing job with the Social Network field it would be soooo much better if you listed a few more of the Socials like YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat. And I'd be happy if when there was no entry, the icons just doesn't show up, gain nothing by them being greyed out. :)
