Link Targeting by location, device, audience and time
Send the visitors of one short link to different pages depending on who they are.
Match by country, world region, state or province, city, device, operating system, browser, language, traffic source, day of week or time of day.
Rules run top to bottom and the first match wins; everyone else goes to the link's own destination.
Pause a link's rules, switch single rules off, and see the clicks each rule received.
Android tablets are now recognised as tablets, in targeting and in analytics.
NEW
Backup URLs and pages for protected and expired links
Short links now handle the moments a plain redirect can't.
Give a link a backup URL: if its destination stops working, visitors are sent there automatically until it's back.
Password-protected links open a proper password page instead of an error.
Expired, archived and mistyped links show a clear page that says what happened.
NEW
Edit everything about a link after you create it
One Edit dialog, from My Links, Home or Campaigns & UTM, now changes a link's destination, short link, title, folder, tags, expiry, password and backup URL. It warns you before changing an address that is already out in the world.
NEW
API access tokens, plus QR codes and imports in the API
The API now works with short-lived access tokens instead of sending your API key on every request, and it covers more than links.
Exchange an API key for an access token that lasts one hour, with a refresh token to renew it.
Create and style QR codes, and import up to 500 links per request, through the API.
Every response carries rate-limit headers, and errors include a stable code.
Action needed: a raw API key is no longer accepted on data endpoints, so update existing integrations to request a token first.
NEW
A 14-day trial with clear reminders
Every new workspace now starts with a 14-day trial, and the owner is reminded from three days before it ends. When a trial finishes, existing short links and QR codes keep working; only creating new ones waits for a plan.
NEW
Password reset, email verification and one-click unsubscribe
Four new pages complete the account basics.
Reset a forgotten password from a link that is valid for one hour.
Confirm your email address from the welcome email.
Unsubscribe from any email category straight from its footer.
NEW
Email alerts, digests and a weekly analytics summary
Lnki.io now emails you about the things that matter: account and security changes, team activity, billing, and alerts from the notification bell. Choose instant, daily or weekly delivery per category, set quiet hours, and get a weekly summary of your top links.
NEW
Transfer workspace ownership
Owners can hand a workspace to an admin from Settings › Team. Invitations also got their own accept page, so joining a team takes one click from the email.
NEW
Connect Google and GitHub from Settings
Link or unlink Google and GitHub sign-in on an existing account from Settings › Profile. You get an email whenever a sign-in method is added or removed.
IMPROVEMENT
Data exports you can actually download
Exports from Settings › Data & Privacy are now built as a real archive of CSV and JSON files. You get an email when it is ready, and the download stays available for seven days.
IMPROVEMENT
Card expiry reminders
Owners are emailed when the default card is due to expire this month or next, before a renewal can fail.
NEW
Add a payment method without leaving Settings
A new card dialog in Settings › Billing lets you add a card in place. Card details go straight to Stripe.
NEW
Campaigns, channels and UTM analytics
The new Campaigns & UTM page brings campaign tracking into one place.
A builder that creates one tagged short link per channel.
Campaigns with dates, colours and status, and reusable source and medium channels.
Reports by campaign, channel and UTM parameter.
NEW
A new Analytics, with cleaner numbers
Analytics has been rebuilt around five tabs: Overview, Traffic, Audience, Sources and Links.
Bots, link previews, prefetches and double-taps are filtered out and shown separately.
See languages, OS versions and in-app browsers such as Instagram and WhatsApp.
Get alerted when a destination breaks or a link's traffic spikes or drops.
Compare two to four links on one chart.
NEW
Import links with column mapping and a preview
Paste URLs or upload a CSV or Excel file, confirm how the columns map, then review and fix rows before anything is created. Rows that cannot be imported keep their reason.
NEW
Up to ten tags per link and QR code
Links and QR codes can now carry several tags. Filter by any of them, or only by items that match all of them.
IMPROVEMENT
Edit a QR code's design after creating it
QR codes are now saved as a design, so you can reopen one in the builder and change its colours, pattern, logo or label. The code keeps pointing at the same short link.
IMPROVEMENT
The notification bell updates live
New notifications and unread counts now arrive the moment they happen, without refreshing the page.
IMPROVEMENT
Faster lists in large workspaces
My Links, Folders, Domains and QR Codes load and page noticeably faster with thousands of items, and Home shows your recent links sooner.
FIX
Switching accounts after signing out
Fixed a case where signing out and into a different account could keep showing the previous session. Dashboard pages now always send signed-out visitors to the login page.
NEW
A notification inbox
The bell in the top bar collects what needs your attention: unverified domains, paused webhooks, failed payments, expiring links and finished imports. Items clear themselves once the problem is fixed.
NEW
Custom domains: guided setup and per-domain settings
Domains has moved to its own page with step-by-step flows for adding a domain or a subdomain.
Exact DNS records to copy, with automatic re-checks.
Per-domain defaults for short codes, QR style, UTMs and expiry.
A fallback URL for missing links and a redirect for the bare domain.
IMPROVEMENT
A clearer team invitation email
Invitation emails have a clearer layout and wording.
NEW
Webhook delivery log
See every delivery attempt for a webhook, with its status, response code and duration, without leaving the Webhooks page.
IMPROVEMENT
Link Rotator filters and custom domains in Quick Create
Filter and search rotators by status, and pick a custom domain directly in Quick Create and when creating a QR code.
NEW
Six more pages in the new dashboard
Settings, API Keys, Webhooks, Link Rotator, Folders and Custom Domains are now part of the new dashboard, with the same navigation and loading behaviour as Home and My Links.
IMPROVEMENT
Redesigned login and signup
Cleaner sign-in pages with Google and GitHub buttons, and a landing page that reads properly on phones.
NEW
Team workspaces with roles
Invite teammates into your workspace as a Viewer, Editor or Admin. Each role sees and changes only what it should.
IMPROVEMENT
Security hardening across sign-in, API and webhooks
A round of protective changes behind the scenes.
Sign-in, signup and password reset are rate limited.
The public API is rate limited and tells you when to retry.
Webhooks are only delivered to public HTTPS addresses.
Analytics visitor tokens are keyed with a server-side secret.
FIX
Protected and renamed links
Tightened two redirect edge cases: a password-protected link can no longer be reached without its password, and a link whose back-half was changed no longer answers on the old one.
IMPROVEMENT
Rebuilt Folders
Folders has a new table layout with a preview panel and paging inside a folder. Deleting a folder that still has links is now possible, and the links are kept.
NEW
New Create Short Link and Create QR pages
Dedicated pages for creating a link or a QR code, with a live preview as you type and every option in one place.
NEW
Tags, My Links and QR Codes
Label links with workspace tags, and manage everything from the new My Links and QR Codes pages with tabs for favourites and archived items.
NEW
Home dashboard with Quick Create
A new Home page shows your recent links and lets you shorten a URL without leaving it.
NEW
Plans, payment methods and invoices
Billing arrives in Settings: choose a plan, manage cards and download invoices, with payments handled by Stripe.
NEW
Link Rotator, webhooks, custom domains, API keys and bulk import
Five building blocks land together: split traffic across destinations, receive events at your endpoint, brand links with your own domain, manage links through the API and import them in bulk.
NEW
Styled QR codes and folders
Design QR codes with your colours, patterns and logo, and organise links in folders.
NEW
Sign in with Google and GitHub, and a new name
Sign in with a Google or GitHub account, upload a profile photo, and say hello to our new name: Lnki.io.
