Bulk Link Operations Reference

Bulk operations are designed for high-volume link lifecycle management. This area covers all links 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)

  1. Prepare CSV using approved column schema.
  2. Validate required fields and domain/path rules.
  3. Run a small pilot import first.
  4. Inspect created links and assignments.
  5. 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
Operational guidance:
  • 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:
  1. Stop further imports immediately.
  2. Isolate affected batch by timestamp/metadata.
  3. Use export snapshot to identify delta.
  4. Apply targeted rollback (archive/delete/fix records).
  5. Re-run corrected batch in small scope.
