Bulk Link Operations Reference
Bulk operations are designed for high-volume link lifecycle management. This area covers alllinks import, links export, and links bulk workflows from an operator perspective.
Typical bulk workflows
- initial migration from another platform
- campaign-wide metadata updates
- bulk archive/unarchive actions
- operational export for audit and reconciliation
Import workflow (safe pattern)
- Prepare CSV using approved column schema.
- Validate required fields and domain/path rules.
- Run a small pilot import first.
- Inspect created links and assignments.
- Execute full import when pilot results are correct.
Common import fields
Typical fields include:- destination URL
- short code/path
- title
- domain
- campaign assignment
- folder/tag assignment
- optional metadata and notes
Validation checks before import
- destination URLs are valid and reachable.
- short codes follow allowed format rules.
- target domains are verified/available.
- campaign/folder/tag references are valid.
- duplicates and collisions are resolved.
Export workflow
Use export when you need:- backup snapshots before major edits
- reconciliation with external systems
- migration planning between environments
- monthly/quarterly operational audits
Bulk state-change workflows
Common state changes:- archive/unarchive batches
- enable/disable groups of links
- recategorize links by folder/tag
- always export baseline before destructive changes.
- prefer smaller staged batches for high-risk operations.
- validate analytics impact after state changes.
Failure handling and rollback
If bulk import results are unexpected:- Stop further imports immediately.
- Isolate affected batch by timestamp/metadata.
- Use export snapshot to identify delta.
- Apply targeted rollback (archive/delete/fix records).
- Re-run corrected batch in small scope.
Common issues
| Issue | Likely cause | First action |
|---|---|---|
| Import rejects many rows | Required columns missing/invalid | Validate schema and rerun pilot |
| Unexpected campaign assignment | Mapping mismatch in import file | Re-check campaign identifiers |
| Duplicate short codes | Collision with existing links | Regenerate/adjust conflicted paths |
| Analytics drift after batch | Scope/state changed unintentionally | Reconcile with pre-import export baseline |
