Call link: what is it for and how to use it?

Sometimes users want to leave a mention of their community on their personal page, so they need to know how on VKontakte to make a link to a group with a word.

Attention! The link word is one of the gadgets on VKontakte, which allows you to unobtrusively mention your community and promote it unnoticed by users.

There are currently two options for using link words:

• hyperlink hidden in the text;
• link in the Work section on your personal page.

Let's look at each of these cases in more detail.

How to make a hyperlink to a VK group in text

A link word in the text allows you to most harmoniously include a mention of the community in a post, comment and other VKontakte content.

Reference! Before you begin to study the process of placing a hyperlink in the text, you need to find out what the page ID in VK is and how you can copy it.

So, here are short instructions for creating a link word:

• Log in to your VK account. Click the Groups section and go to the desired community.

• In the address bar, select and copy the page ID. To do this, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C.

• Log in to the main page of your account.
• Scroll down the screen and find the text field with the phrase What's new with you?

• Enter the @ icon in the text field, and after it, without spaces, paste the ID you copied earlier. After this, put a space sign and paired parentheses - (). For example, @club169913743 ().

• Enter the name of the community inside the brackets. For example, @club169913743 (All about fishing).
• Click the Submit button to post a link to the page.

After this, a post containing a link to the group will appear on the wall.

Attention! If the link word is part of the text, then the name of the community inside parentheses should be surrounded by spaces.

At the same time, a shared post containing a link can be pinned. This will help keep it at the top of the list, unlike other posts published in the feed.

How to copy and send?

Next, we’ll look at how to copy a link to a call in VK and in what ways it can be sent.

• You don't have to reinvent the wheel to copy. Just use the good old keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
• First, copy and paste the template, and then the profile ID number of the call recipient.
• If you are interested in how to send the created link to a call in VK, then we will call forwarding in a personal message the best way.
• Also, a link to a call to VK can be received in the comment accompanying the gift, in a regular comment, etc. You can even place it on your profile wall, in which case anyone who clicks on it will call the poor guy whose ID you wrote in it.

A link to a video call in VK has not yet been invented, but if a person wants, he can switch the audio call to video right during the call. To do this, you just need to tap on the video camera icon in the upper right corner of the display.

Well, now you know how to find a link to a call in VK, or rather, how to create it yourself. We recommend putting it somewhere in your phone notes!

How to make a link in the Work column

The process of creating a hyperlink for the Work column is in many ways similar to the procedure for getting a check mark on the VKontakte website. The instructions for this look like this:

• Log in to your VK account, open the drop-down menu by clicking on the avatar in the upper right corner. There select Edit.

• In the navigation menu located on the right side of the screen, select the Career section.

• In the main menu, click on the top line Place of work. Select the desired community from the drop-down list.

• In accordance with your wishes, fill in the remaining columns or leave them blank.

• If necessary, add another place of work using the corresponding hyperlink at the bottom of the screen.

• Click on the My Page line in the left menu. Make sure that all changes are reflected in the profile with personal information.

As you can see, adding a link to the community in the Work column is a matter of a couple of clicks. However, the effect of such a step is difficult to overestimate. Additional mention of the community contributes to its rapid promotion. In addition, friends and guests of the page, viewing personal information, will probably be interested in what community the account owner works in. And this is a stable source of traffic and an excellent tool for forming a target audience.

Thus, the process of creating community hyperlinks for text and profile is very simple and accessible to all users. In combination with other tools, such links provide great opportunities for promoting and monetizing the group.

When communicating on a social network with friends using private messages or leaving notes on our wall, in some cases we leave links to other VK users or communities. At the same time, copying and pasting a link in the form of a URL is not difficult even for an inexperienced user. Just copy the link to the page or group from the address bar, as it is, for example: https://vk.com/live. But we are not interested in a simple link, but in a hyperlink. When a user clicks on one or more words (part of a hypertext document) and is taken to another page. If you want to leave a link to the community for your friends, you can format it in the form of one word or a whole phrase that characterizes it. For example, write “Music” and put a link to: https://vk.com/exclusive_muzic. By clicking the word "music", your friends will be redirected to this group.

The functionality of VKontakte allows you to place links not only to internal pages of the social network (accounts, communities, events), but also to external web resources. But it’s not always possible to insert a working hyperlink. To create it, VK provides special codes. If you learn to use them correctly, you will succeed. And we will tell you what these codes are and how to use them correctly to create a hyperlink.

How to make a link to a person on VKontakte?

How to insert a link to a person in VK using BB codes

So that part of the hypertext document becomes a link to the user’s social account. VKontakte network, you must formalize it correctly. The first step to this hyperlink design is two square brackets, separated by one vertical bar and located inside. To paste this design onto the page, switch to the English layout and press the corresponding three keys on your keyboard or simply copy the following:

A word is added to the vertical bar before the closing square bracket, which will become a hyperlink. But you will see it only after the entry is published. If you need to insert a link to a user's page, write their real or online name after the vertical bar.

In this case, its name will be the link text (anchor or anchor).

But our hyperlink has not yet been created, because we need to indicate the address of the user’s page. To do this, immediately after the opening square bracket, before the vertical line, indicate the account ID without a space. The page address can consist of both a set of numbers and letters, if the user has chosen a beautiful name for the page. Since we only format internal addresses this way, there is no need to write the full URL; the system itself will convert the user ID and redirect to his page in Contact.

A clear example of creating a hyperlink to a social user page. networks.

In both the first and second cases you will be taken to the same page. The text can be different: first name, last name, title, any phrases.

The anchor text can be diluted with emoticons or put them instead of words.

You have already figured out how to insert the ID of the account you need or its short address to create a hyperlink. And to find out it, you need to go to the page and copy it from the address bar. Everything after vk.com/ is an ID or name.

For example, this is what the user page ID looks like:

To find out the address of your personal page in Contact, go to “ My Settings”

" and copy the data from the corresponding field.

How to make a link to a call in VK?

Well, it’s time to tell you how to send a link to a call on VK. To do this, you will need to use a prepared template and find out the page ID of the user who should be called by the recipient of the link.

For example, you want a person to call you:

• Copy this template https://vk.com/call?id=;
• Immediately after the “=” sign, insert your profile ID, numbers only;
• Make sure there are no spaces, quotes, semicolons, etc. between insertions;
• Send the resulting combination to your subject.

As soon as he completes the transition, a call to you will automatically start. Please note that for the joke to work, it is important that the recipient makes the transition from a mobile phone. Even if you manage to create the correct link to a call in VK, but a person clicks on it from a computer, and, as you know, the call option only works in a mobile utility, the joke will not work. Instead of starting a dialer, the user will be transferred to his native “News” section, and that’s all.

How and where to find out the page ID in VK?

So, we told you where to get a template for a link to a call on VK - you can copy it directly from this article. However, not everyone knows how to determine the profile ID.

ID is a page identification number, a unique code that is assigned to each new profile.

• You can find out your ID through the page settings. Click on the small avatar in the right corner of the screen and select “Settings”. Next, in the “General” tab, find the line “Page Address”. The numbers after the letters “ID” are the same number.

• Another way is to look on the main profile page. Go there and pay attention to the address bar of your browser. You need a combination of numbers after the ID letters.

• Sometimes people change the address spelling of their page. In this case, you need to open their start page, right-click on an empty space and select the “Page Code” command (or “Source Code”, depending on the browser). Next, press the key combination Ctrl+F and enter the query “User_id”. The system will immediately highlight the required section of the code. The combination of numbers in quotes is the number you need.

Now finding out the identification number is not a problem for you. You can send a link to a call on VK to any person. The most important thing to remember is that you need to insert not the ID of the recipient of the link, but the ID of the person you want him to call.

Think for yourself, if you decide to leave a person a link to call on VK with his own ID, he will, as it were, try to call himself. This option does not work in VK, so the whole idea will fail.

How to quickly make a hyperlink to a VKontakte page?

The method we described above is somewhat tricky. If you want to create a quick and easy hyperlink with a word or phrase, try another method. In this case, the construction of two square brackets separated by a vertical bar is not used.

We will use one of two characters: * (asterisk)

or
@ (dog)
. There is no need to put a space after such a symbol, but immediately write the account ID or its address if the user has changed it. This social network has a hint system: start typing the person’s last name, and the system will immediately offer you options. All you have to do is indicate the desired name.

Click in your post on the page, for example, the symbol @

and follow the prompts.

Want to try? Put * (asterisk)

and you will see the inscription: “Start typing a friend’s name or group name.”
Enter “ durov
” and you will be prompted to link to his page.

At the same time, you will not need to add anything: just click on the name of P. Durov, and the hyperlink will be created without your participation. If the user you are linking to has more than one page or community, you will need to select one of the options.

You send a note and see the design converted into a hyperlink. Your friends, by clicking on a word or phrase, will be redirected to the desired page. And if special BB codes are used to create hyperlinks on forums and websites, then on the VKontakte social network you can do without the structures.

Or you can simply indicate your account number after the “asterisk” or “dog”.

You can also do this:

Today I’ll tell you about a new interesting feature “Messages for the VKontakte community”. With its help, any user can write a message to the community administrator via private messages, and the administrator, in turn, will respond on behalf of the community.

To enable it, go to “Community Management”. Next, set the switch in the “Community Messages” block to “Enabled”. Additionally, you can add a separate link to the left column of your VKontakte menu by checking the “Add to left menu” checkbox. To save the changes, click the “Save” button below.

Now, having entered the community, the “Send message” button should appear in the right column. With its help, any user can send a message to the community.

All messages received in this way will be displayed in the community and in the left column.

In the future, communication occurs with the user through “Private Messages”, and with the community through “Community Messages”.

When you hover over a dialogue, the correspondence can be added to important or completely deleted. You can also make a message important within a correspondence.

When deleting, you can mark the message as spam or block the user.

Another important feature is the ability to mark messages as replied. Let's imagine a situation where a user wrote to you, but you cannot give an answer at the moment. It's okay, the community has 4 message tabs for this.

• All;
• Important - those messages that you have marked in dialogues or within correspondence;
• Unreplied - those messages that were read, but for some reason you did not give any response;
• Unread - new messages that have not yet been read.

You can reply to a message within a conversation using a special icon above the dialogue. Here you can add a message to “Important”.

That's all. I hope that this opportunity will be useful for you.

How to insert a link into the text to a community with the necessary words

There is nothing complicated here either, even for an untrained user. The method is no different from where we created a hyperlink to the page. You can link not only to the page of an individual user, but also to a group or event. The only difference is that there is no ID. Instead, you will have to indicate the names: public, club, event. And just as when creating a hyperlink to a page, after the words you need to add the number or short address of the community, group, or event. The numbers or names of communities are taken from the same place: from the address bar.

For example, a hyperlink to a community might look like this:

If you place links from other people's communities to a group that you own, do not overdo it. Such links are fraught with blocking, especially if you leave them in comments and posts on someone else’s wall. If you provide hyperlinks, choose anchor text that is relevant to your community. Otherwise, such a link will be considered spam and it will be good if it is simply deleted. The community can also be blocked for spreading spam on VKontakte.

It's even easier to create a hyperlink using the symbols: * (asterisk)

and
@ (dog)
.
This method is similar to the previous one, when we created hyperlinks to user pages. Write @
and start entering numbers or letters of the address of the community or event. The system itself will offer you options. All you have to do is select the desired community, and the link will be generated automatically.

Is it possible to make any word a hyperlink in VKontakte?

As you already understand, only pages of users, groups, and events within a social network can be formatted as verbal hyperlinks. If you want to link to an external resource, you will have to write it in full. Some words from the text cannot lead to an external site - the functionality of VK does not allow it. For example, this construction would be erroneous:

[https://pc-helpp.com|All about social. VK network]

If hyperlinks from words to external resources are not possible, leave regular links, where instead of the text “ All about social. VK networks

» use the full address of the site or page. The user will simply go to the site by clicking on the URL.

VKontakte not only allows you to link to external sites, but also offers to design the link beautifully by adding a small announcement to it. An interested user will definitely visit your website if he reads information that interests him in the announcement.

This way you can advertise your new publications. The announcement and pictures, if any, are added automatically. All you need to do is enter the address of the external page, Contact will do the rest.

If the page you are linking to is too long, the system will truncate it, and in an unfortunate manner. You can fix this by using a service, for example, vk.cc to convert long addresses. You will receive a short address for your site/page and do not have to worry about crooked links.

As you can see, hyperlinks in VKontakte are possible, but only within social networks. networks. And to create a link to an external web resource, you will have to specify the address. Create personal messages, wall posts, and comments using a variety of links.

Hello, dear readers of the KtoNaNovenkogo.ru blog. Quite often, when communicating on the social network VKontakte, it becomes necessary to make a link to a person (his personal VK page) or to a group, public (read what it is) or an event page.

And not just paste the URL copied from the address bar of the browser (when the desired page is open, for example: https://vk.com/ktonanovenkogoru), but make sure that the link is a word (phrase) by clicking through which one could get to the profile of the right person or to the right community (for example, to the public: KtoNaNovenkogo.ru - SEO, earnings, Internet or per person: Dmitry Ivanetsku).

That is, we need to make an analogue of a hyperlink, but only in the text that we create in VK. However, I’ll make a reservation right away - you can insert any link into Contact (to a person, to a community, or to an external site), but making it a word (formatted as a full-fledged hyperlink) will not always work. In addition, an analogue of BB codes is used for insertion, which you will still need to learn how to use. Actually, this short post will talk about exactly this.

How to make a hyperlink in VK

In the previous article, we talked about how to make a link with a word, that is, a VKontakte hyperlink to a person’s page. We figured this out. All that remains is to figure out how to make a picture link (clicking on the picture goes to your website) and how to make a hyperlink in VK .

A hyperlink is, in simple terms, a link in a word. That is, you make a word or sentence a link. This is done for the convenience of users. Agree that it is much more convenient to read links in human language, rather than in machine language.

Take a closer look, machine language doesn't look very good!

On VKontakte, making a link with a word, namely, encrypting a link into a word is actually very simple.

There is an exit!

If you want to encrypt a link to a third-party resource, then only wiki markup, which we wrote about here, will help you here. Using wiki pages you can also create a link-picture.

If you create a hyperlink for internal pages of a social network, then you do not have to create a wiki page. Everything is done much easier.

per group

To make a word link to a group or public write [club023400329|Any text], where the numbers are the id of your community.

to the meeting

In order to make a hyperlink to the meeting, you need to write [event123467578|Any text], where you also need to substitute the id of your community.

per person

We wrote about how to make a link with a word to a person in a previous article here.

miscellaneous (including photos and pictures!)

• for discussion [[topic****|Topic name]];
• to the application [[app*****]];
• to the picture [[photo-****_****]];
• to the user via image [[photo-****_****|id****]];
• to the group via image [[photo-****_****|club****]];
• to the video recording [[video-****_****]].

Instead of * you need to substitute the id of the site element.

For a more visual example, you can watch the video tutorial:

How to make a link to a person on VKontakte?

As I already mentioned, in Contact for this purpose, a BB code is used (not Html markup) or entry options starting with an asterisk or dog (read why the @ symbol is called a dog). Anyway, the syntax is very similar to BB codes. This method of creating hyperlinks will work in most places where text can be entered in VK (for example, in posts, in comments, in descriptions of communities and videos).

How to insert a link to a person in VK using BB codes

To insert a link in the form of a word, you will have to use a construction of two square brackets (a necessary attribute of BB codes) and a separating vertical bar enclosed in them (you can get it by clicking on the button located to the left of VExpace and holding Shift on the keyboard). This disgrace looks something like this (by the way, you can copy this design from here and paste it when typing on Vkontakte):

In this construction, after the vertical line, you will have to enter a word (or phrase), which will become a hyperlink when publishing a message on VK. If you want to make a link to a person, then it would be appropriate to insert his first and last name (or nickname) after the vertical line. In other words, after the vertical bar we enter the so-called link text (anchor).

But before the vertical bar, but after the opening square bracket, we will have to enter the equivalent of the URL where the link we created should lead to. Since in this way it will be possible to create only internal hyperlinks (leading to pages inside the VKontakte site), you do not need to enter the full URL - it will be enough to enter either the ID of the personal page of the person you need, or its short address (if he has specified it in the “My” settings pages").

Thus, to insert a link to a person into VK, you can use one of the following constructions :

It doesn't matter what type of recording you use. As a result , we will receive a link leading to the Contact page of the person we need with the words you need. Your full name, nickname, or some other words will be used as the text of the hyperlink.

Instead of or together with text in such a hyperlink, you can also use emoticons (emoticon codes for Contact can be found on the given page).

You may have a question: where can I get the ID of the desired VK page or its short address. It's a fair question. However, the answer is very simple. Open the page of the person you want to link to, and in the address bar you will see one of two things: either an ID or a short address (immediately after https://vk.com/ “”). In the case of my page, this will be a short address:

But it could also be like this:

If this is your own page, then you can select “My Settings” from the left menu and see the information you need in the “Your Page Address” area:

In general, nothing complicated.

How to quickly make a hyperlink to a VKontakte page?

If you don’t want to bother with BB codes, and the text of the hyperlink (words from which the link will lead) in the form of the first and last name of the desired person suits you perfectly, then I can offer you a slightly simpler (faster) method . In this case, you will not need to use square brackets.

Just put an asterisk * or a dog sign @ , and then without a space you can specify either the short address of the page of the desired person, or its ID, or you can even start typing his last name and first name, and select the desired option from the list of suitable people that appears.

Actually, as soon as you enter the symbol * or @ from the keyboard, the Contact will tell you everything:

Let's see this with an example. Let's say I start typing the short address of my personal page:

I am offered the choice of creating a link either to a person (Dmitry Ivanetska) or to a public page. All that remains is to choose the desired option. After selecting, the required structure will be automatically inserted into the text input field:

After clicking on the “Submit” button, this design is automatically converted into a hyperlink with the user’s name or community name as the anchor text of the link. As a result, we get the same result as using BB codes - a link from the text of the message left in Contact, written with the first and last name of the person we wanted to link to (see screenshot in the previous section).

You can also do this:

The result will be the same.

How to insert a link into the text to a community with the necessary words

Well, everything here is also very simple and similar to what has already been described above. The only thing is that if a group, public or event page does not have a short address specified, you will need to insert not an ID with the page number, but a club with the group number, public with the public number or event with the event page number. You can get them all from the same address bar (although the numbers are still quite often replaced with a short address.

Entries may look like:

Be careful when placing similar links to your community from other communities, walls and comments. In this case, use only those hyperlinks that actually describe the community as words, otherwise it may be blocked or even removed from VKontakte (for spam).

In the same way, to create a link to a community (group, public), you can first put an asterisk * or dog @ , and then, without a space, enter either a short address or the number of a public page, group or event page. The contact will understand you perfectly and offer you to choose what you need:

As you can see, everything is quite simple here too.

Is it possible to make any word a hyperlink in VKontakte?

Unfortunately, you can only link from a text posted on the VKontakte social network to your own (or someone else’s) website by directly placing the URL in the text. It will not work to make any words a hyperlink leading to some external site . That is, it will not be possible to use a construction like:

This won't work. But you can easily insert the URL https://ktonanovenkogo.ru into the text and it will be converted into a link, but this URL will be used as its text.

As you can see, Contact even recognized the link on the fly and offers, in addition to the text you wrote, to add an announcement of the page that he found by clicking on it. A wonderful opportunity.

For example, I create announcements of my new articles on VK in this way - I simply go to my page and public page, and then insert the URL of the new article into the line for adding a new message. The contact automatically creates an announcement and all I have to do is publish it.

By the way, if the links you insert into the text are very long , then VKontakte may not cut them properly. To avoid this, I advise you to use the proprietary shortener vk.cc (read more in the article about vk.cc and other link shortening services).

Thus, it turns out that any word in the text entered in Contact can be turned into a hyperlink, but only if it leads to some page within this social network. This trick no longer works with external links. That's it.
