# Links and Settings Reference

# Links and Settings Reference

This is the complete user-side reference for link configuration.

## Core link identity

* short code (slug)
* title and description
* campaign assignment
* destination and fallback behavior
* domain selection (system or verified custom domain)

## Redirect behavior modes

Typical behavior choices:

* automatic redirect flow
* always redirect flow
* never/controlled redirect behavior
* rule-only redirect behavior

## Security and lifecycle controls

* password protection (minimum security length enforced)
* expiration date/time
* expired destination handling
* click limits
* archive/unarchive state

When click limit or expiry is hit, visitors should follow configured expired handling behavior.

## Tracking controls

* conversion tracking toggle
* tracking mode (pixel-style or server-style attribution)
* impression tracking control
* fingerprint-required mode where applicable

Tracking should be enabled before launching paid traffic so attribution is not fragmented.

## Deep-link controls

* deep-link enablement
* iOS target
* Android target
* fallback URL
* in-app browser breakout behavior

Deep-link validation should ensure at least one valid mobile/fallback destination exists when enabled.

## Cost and attribution overrides

Links can override campaign defaults for:

* cost model
* cost override amount
* cost currency

Use these only when a specific link should behave differently from campaign economics.

## Organization controls

* folder assignment
* multi-tag assignment
* UTM template alignment
* external ID mapping for CRM/tooling
* internal notes/comments

## Bulk operations

Link operations at scale typically include:

* CSV import for large link batches
* export for audits/migrations
* bulk archive/delete workflows
* bulk transfer between organizational contexts where permitted

Always validate required columns and sample a subset before importing large batches.

## Metadata and share presentation

* OG title/description/image/video
* public stats sharing toggle
* optional cloaking/proxy behavior where configured
* social meta tags (Open Graph) for external preview behavior
* metatags hygiene checks before high-volume sharing

## A/B or variant testing

When variant testing is enabled:

* multiple variants are defined
* each variant gets weighted distribution
* use controlled percentages and monitor outcomes in analytics

## Domain behavior

Links can operate on:

* workspace custom domains
* system redirect domains

Domain choice can affect branding, trust, and regional deliverability.

Operational note:

* links with active QR dependencies should be reviewed before domain migration to avoid broken printed assets.

## Operational checklist

Before publishing a high-volume link:

1. verify destination and fallback behavior
2. verify rules do not conflict
3. verify tracking mode and conversion expectations
4. verify link-level cost overrides are intentional
5. verify share metadata and public visibility settings
