Link Expiration & Click Limits
Control when a link starts working, when it stops, and how many clicks it may receive.
All three controls live in the options section of the link create and edit pages. You can combine them freely.
Schedule a start date
Set a start date and the short link stays inactive until that moment. Handy for launch announcements printed in advance.
Expiry date and expired URL
- Turn on Expiry and pick the date and time.
- Optionally enter an expired URL. After the deadline visitors are redirected there instead of the original destination.
- If you leave the expired URL empty, visitors see a branded “this link has expired” page.
Click limit
Set a maximum number of clicks. Once it is reached the link behaves exactly like an expired one. The counter is updated atomically, so a burst of simultaneous clicks can never push you past the limit — useful for “first 100 people” offers.
Reviving a link
Nothing is deleted when a link expires. Edit it, move the expiry date forward or raise the click limit, and it works again immediately. Analytics collected before expiry stay attached to the link.
