MANAGING YOUR LINKS

Linkkit link builder

Create a Linkkit short link and configure its destination, domain, organization, tracking, and delivery options.

The Linkkit link builder creates a short URL and lets you configure the options that control where it redirects, how it is organized, and how clicks are measured. The same core fields are available when you edit an existing link.

Open Links and click Create link, or press C when you are not typing in another field. On mobile, enter the destination first and tap Continue to open the full builder.

Create a link
Enter the destination

Add a complete http:// or https:// URL. Linkkit checks the URL format and safety before allowing the link to be created.

Choose the short URL

Select a built-in Linkkit domain or one of your verified custom domains. Enter a short code, or leave it blank and let Linkkit generate one; the shuffle button generates another code.

Add identity and organization

Optionally add a link title, choose a List, apply tags, and add private notes for your team.

Configure campaign options

Use the footer tools for UTM parameters, targeting, A/B variants, password protection, expiration, and conversion tracking when those features fit the campaign.

Review and create

Check the QR code and social preview on desktop, review the selected domain and short code, then click Create link. Linkkit copies the resulting short URL to your clipboard.

What is required to create a link?
A valid destination URL is required. The short code, title, domain choice, organization fields, and campaign options are optional. If you do not provide a short code, Linkkit generates one automatically.
Which domains can I select?
The selector includes Linkkit's built-in domains and custom domains that have been verified in the active workspace. Unverified custom domains are not offered for new links.
What happens when I add UTM parameters?
Linkkit adds the values to the destination URL before creating the short link. It supports source, medium, campaign, term, content, and referral values; referral is written as the ref parameter.
Are all builder options available on every plan?
The builder shows the available controls, but some tracking features are plan-gated. For example, conversion tracking is enabled only for paid plans in the dashboard. Your plan and workspace permissions determine which options can be used.

For a shorter walkthrough, see How to create a short link. For API-created links, send the destination URL and optional title, verified custom domain, expiry, notes, or List ID.
