About This Feature

Overview

Recognize Input Fields is a built-in WPS Office for Mac capability for chat sharing workflows. When you paste a link into a message compose box, WPS can identify the link type and generate a structured preview card or label before you send the message.

Core tasks include:

Recognize link types automatically: after you paste a link into a group or direct chat input box, WPS identifies the content type automatically.
Preview the recognized result before sending: the compose box can show a card preview or label before the message is sent.

Supported link types include cloud document links, schedule links, meeting links, and AirPage links. This is useful for team communication, collaborative sharing, meeting notices, and document distribution.

Capability Summary	In a chat input box, WPS can recognize supported links after paste and show a structured preview card or label before sending.	Teams supports link unfurling when a URL from a registered domain is pasted into the compose box, then returns a preview card.	Google Chat can preview configured links by attaching cards to messages when matching URL patterns are shared.	Notion lets users paste supported links as Preview or Mention, mainly inside pages and documents.	Acrobat supports sharing documents by link, with a focus on document access and review rather than chat input recognition.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The workflow is centered on chat sharing, so users can paste a supported link, review the recognized result, and send it in one flow.	Compared with WPS: preview behavior depends on registered domains and app configuration.	Compared with WPS: card previews depend on Chat app configuration and URL pattern setup.	Compared with WPS: the experience is oriented toward page content previews and mentions instead of pre-send chat recognition.	Compared with WPS: the main scenario is document sharing by link, not automatic recognition inside a chat compose box.
