Links
A link is the core object in LinkLane: a destination URL plus its short code and all of its behavior.
Create a link
In Links, paste a destination URL. Optionally set:
- Custom alias — a memorable code instead of a random one.
- Custom domain — serve from your branded host (Pro+).
- Tags & campaign — organize and roll up analytics.
Protect a link
Open a link's superpowers to add:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Password | Visitors must enter a password to proceed |
| Expiry date | Link stops redirecting after a date |
| Max clicks | Link stops after N clicks |
| Scheduled activation | Link only works after a start time |
| Geo-blocking | Allow/deny specific countries |
| Bot protection | Filter automated traffic |
Route visitors (Pro+)
Smart routing sends different visitors to different destinations:
- Rotator / A/B — split traffic across variants.
- Geo — by country. Device — by OS. Time — by schedule.
- Returning visitor — new vs. returning.
- App Store deep links (Growth+) — iOS → App Store, Android → Play Store, else a web fallback.
Retargeting pixels (Growth+)
Add Meta, Google (GA4/GTM), Pinterest, or TikTok pixel IDs to a link. Visitors hit a fast interstitial that fires the pixels, then redirect — so you can build retargeting audiences from your short links.
Branded QR
Every link has a QR code (PNG/SVG). Pro+ adds colors and a center logo.
