Question 1

Can I make a link expire automatically?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. This is a crucial feature for time-sensitive campaigns. You can set a link to expire on a specific date and time, or after it has been clicked a certain number of times. This is perfect for limited-time offers, event registrations, or contest entries, ensuring you never send users to an outdated page.

Question 3

How will I be charged?

Accepted Answer

You will be charged at the beginning of each period automatically until canceled.

Question 4

What is a custom alias (or "back-half") and why should I customize it? What are branded links?

Accepted Answer

A custom alias is the memorable, editable part of the short link that comes after the slash (e.g., links.mybrand.co.za/**spring-sale**). Instead of a random string of characters like _aB1c2D_, customizing the alias makes your links readable, trustworthy, and on-brand. A link like linktransform.com/your-custom-link-name is far more clickable than one with a random ending.

Question 5

What are "Expired Links" and why would I use them?

Accepted Answer

The "Expired Links" feature allows you to set an expiration date and time for any short link. When the link expires, it will no longer redirect to the original destination.This is perfect for:Limited-Time Offers: Automatically disable a link to a sale page once the promotion ends on a specific date, like midnight on Black Friday.Event Registrations: Close off access to a signup form after the deadline has passed.Contests & Giveaways: Ensure entries stop at the designated closing time.You can even set a custom redirect for expired links, sending users to a "This offer has ended" page or back to your homepage.
