Links
Create short links, choose custom slugs, update destinations, add social previews, and measure performance.
Links are the core Qorlivo resource. A link turns a destination URL into a shorter URL you can share, brand, organize, update, and measure.
What a link includes
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Destination URL | The final page visitors reach after opening the short link. |
| Slug | The short path after the domain, such as summer-sale. |
| Short URL | The full shareable URL, including the domain and slug. |
| Title | A private label that helps you recognize the link in Qorlivo. |
| Collection | Optional group for related links and videos. |
| Domain | The default Qorlivo domain or one of your verified custom domains. |
| Expiration | Optional time when the link should stop resolving. |
| Social preview | Optional title, description, and image shown by supported apps. |
| Status | Whether the link is active, expired, archived, or unavailable. |
Create a link
- Open Links.
- Choose Create link.
- Paste the destination URL.
- Add a title.
- Optional: set a slug, domain, collection, expiration, or preview fields.
- Save.
- Copy the short URL.
Qorlivo accepts http and https destinations. For public sharing, use https whenever the destination supports it.
Choosing slugs
A good slug is short, memorable, and specific.
| Slug style | Example | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign | spring-launch | The link is tied to a launch or promotion. |
| Resource | pricing-guide | The link points to a durable asset. |
| Event | nyc-meetup | The link belongs to a specific event. |
| Generated | a8k2f | You need speed more than memorability. |
Slugs must be unique on the selected domain. If a slug is already taken, choose another one or use the generated option.
Edit a link
You can update a link after sharing it. Common edits include:
- Change the destination URL.
- Rename the title.
- Update social preview fields.
- Add or remove an expiration date.
- Move it into a collection.
- Archive or restore it.
- Delete it when it is no longer needed.
Changing the destination keeps the public short URL the same. That is useful when a campaign landing page moves but printed, emailed, or posted links are already out in the world.
Social previews
Social preview fields help links look cleaner in tools that display rich link cards.
| Field | Tip |
|---|---|
| Preview title | Keep it concise and recognizable. |
| Preview description | Explain what the visitor will get after opening. |
| Preview image | Use a clear 1200 by 630 image when possible. |
Some apps cache previews. If you update preview details, it may take time before every app shows the new version.
Analytics
Each link can collect performance signals such as:
- Total clicks.
- Unique visitors.
- Clicks over time.
- Referrers.
- Countries.
- Devices.
- Browsers.
Use link-level analytics when you need to understand one campaign. Use workspace analytics when you want a broader view across many links.
Recommended workflow
- Create the link with a clear title.
- Add it to a collection if it belongs to a campaign or resource group.
- Test the short URL before sharing.
- Share it.
- Review analytics after the link has traffic.
- Update the destination or preview if the campaign changes.
API support
Developers can create, list, update, delete, and bulk-create links through the public API. See Links API.
