Link Manager

The Link Manager lets you create short, trackable links to anything you put in front of your audience — videos, landing pages, sponsor offers, sign-up forms — and see exactly how each link is performing.

What it is

A per-channel short link service with built-in analytics. Every link you create gets:

• A short URL on your workspace’s short domain.
• Click tracking with unique-visitor and repeat-rate metrics.
• Geographic and referrer breakdowns.
• An optional expiry date, on/off toggle, and tags for organization.

Who should use it

• Creators who push the same destination across multiple surfaces (description, pinned comment, social posts) and want to know which surface drives the most clicks.
• Channels running sponsorships or campaigns who need traceable links per partner.
• Anyone who wants a clean, branded URL instead of a long parameter-heavy one.

Per-link analytics

Click any link in the table to open its analytics page. You’ll see:

• Total clicks — lifetime clicks, with unique-visitor count and repeat-click rate.
• App opens — clicks that opened a native app (for YouTube, Instagram, etc.) instead of a browser, plus the percentage of clicks they represent.
• Last 7 days — clicks in the last 7 days, with a comparison badge against the previous 7-day window.
• Countries — number of countries the link has been clicked from.
• Clicks over time — a chart you can toggle between total clicks and app opens, with a CSV export.
• Top referrers — which sites and apps drove the most clicks.
• World map — click distribution by country.

Manage a link

Each row in the link list has a settings menu (the … icon) with:

• Enabled — toggle to instantly disable a link without deleting it. Disabled links return a “link unavailable” page.
• Expiry — pick a date after which the link stops resolving. Useful for time-limited campaigns and discount codes.
• Tags — add up to 20 short labels (campaign, q1, sponsor-x, …) to group and filter related links.
• Delete link — permanently removes the link and all of its analytics. This can’t be undone.

The row’s inline actions cover the most common operations:

• Copy — copies the short URL to your clipboard.
• Open — opens the short URL in a new tab so you can verify the redirect.
• QR code — generates a QR code you can save or share for print and on-camera placements.
• Share — uses your device’s native share sheet on mobile, or copies the URL on desktop.
• Edit — change the destination, title, or slug.

Tips

• Use a tag per campaign or partner so you can compare performance across links in one filter.
• Set an expiry on time-limited offers — that’s safer than relying on yourself to remember to disable them.
• Combine the Link Manager with the Social Media Manager so the link you put in your posts is the same one you’re analyzing here.
• The short URL is editable. If a typo slips into a slug after launch, edit it before sharing widely — once a link has been distributed, changing its slug will break existing copies.

Troubleshooting

• “Slug is taken” — another link on your workspace is already using that slug. Slugs are unique per workspace. Pick a different one.
• A link shows zero clicks — clicks can take a few seconds to register. If you still see zero after a minute, verify the link isn’t disabled and that the expiry hasn’t already passed.
• The destination doesn’t open — ensure the link is enabled and not past its expiry date. If both are fine, open the link in a new tab and check that the destination URL itself still works.
• App opens count looks low — app detection relies on the user agent. Some browsers and privacy modes hide enough information that we can only count the click as a generic browser open.
