Can Storymaps automatically check if links are live within a story

[SimonTDC]

Hello all,

A question came up in a meeting yesterday which I was unsure of the answer of so I am hoping someone can advise.  

If you create a story which includes links to other pages outside of storymaps, is there a function for being notified if those links become broken - for example if you had a link to www.website.com/newsboard and then that page was deleted making the link in your story not working.

Thanks!

Hi @SimonTDC! I do not believe there is a built-in function for checking links. However you could use a third-party software such as make.com and set up automated notifications that way.

Also feel free to drop your comment over at the ArcGIS StoryMap Ideas page! I think a link-checker would be a neat addition.
