How do I sync the media player with links on my OneFront profile?

Updated October 20, 2026

The short answer

OneFront automatically syncs your profile links with the docked media player. When you add links that mention your podcast episodes (like 'Ep. 97 with Aaron Kelly' or a direct episode URL), OneFront identifies the match and injects an interactive '▶ Play Episode' pill. Clicking it starts audio playback immediately in the player bar while keeping the visitor on your profile.

Most link-in-bio pages treat links as dumb URLs. On OneFront, links on your profile talk directly to the media player docked at the bottom of your screen.

How link synchronization works

When you add links to your profile that feature your podcast episodes (such as "Ep. 97 with Aaron Kelly" or a direct Simplecast/Apple Podcasts link), OneFront automatically connects those links to the podcast player:

  1. Automatic detection: The page checks whether a link's title or destination URL matches any of your published episodes.
  2. Interactive Play pills: A sleek ▶ Play Episode pill button is injected directly into the link card.
  3. Instant playback: When a visitor clicks the play pill, the media player immediately loads that exact episode, displays the cover art and metadata, and begins playback without navigating away or reloading the page.

The best of both worlds

Your audience gets the choice they want:

  • Clicking the link title navigates to your full show notes, sponsor page, or external player.
  • Clicking the play pill keeps them right on your profile, listening while they browse the rest of your links, newsletter signup, and social accounts.

How to media player link sync, step by step

  1. 1Connect your podcast feed. Ensure your podcast RSS feed is connected under the Feeds tab so OneFront knows your episode list.
  2. 2Add episode links. Under the Links tab, add links to your recent episodes using the episode number or title in the link text.
  3. 3OneFront matches automatically. OneFront scans your link labels and URLs to link them to the corresponding episode in your player.
  4. 4Play with one click. On your public page, visitors see a '▶ Play Episode' pill that starts streaming immediately without navigating away.

Frequently asked

What happens if someone clicks the main link instead of the play pill?
The main link opens the external destination (such as your full show notes or sponsor page), while the play pill plays audio right in the bio.
Do I have to write custom code for the sync?
No. The player widget matches episode numbers and titles automatically from your RSS feed and profile data.
