How it works

1

Set up your domain

Add a custom domain and verify DNS via CNAME, or start immediately with the default Acturity domain.

2

Create your link

Enter a destination URL, choose a custom slug (3-20 characters), and set optional rules for expiration, passwords, or geo-targeting.

3

Share and track

Distribute your link anywhere — every click is tracked in real time with geographic, device, browser, and referrer data.

Key Capabilities

A closer look at what short links can do for your team

Custom Branded Domains

Use your own domain so every link carries your brand. Add a domain, complete DNS verification via CNAME, and all links use it automatically.

  • DNS verification with CNAME setup
  • Default domain per organization
  • Multiple domains for different brands or campaigns

Smart Redirect Rules

Route visitors to different destinations based on their country or device. Build rules with a drag-and-drop interface and set priority ordering.

  • Geo-targeting by country
  • Device-based routing (mobile, desktop, tablet)
  • Drag-and-drop rule builder with priority ordering

Link Protection & Expiration

Control access and lifetime for every link. Set time-based or click-based expiration and configure what happens when a link expires — redirect elsewhere or show a message.

  • Time-based and click-count expiration
  • Click limits with optional reset periods
  • Password protection (session-based)
  • Custom post-expiration redirect or message

Bulk Creation & Organization

Create up to 50 short links at once via CSV upload with a validation preview. Organize links with tags for easy filtering and search.

  • CSV import up to 50 links per batch
  • Validation preview before processing
  • Tag-based organization and filtering
  • Edit destinations via API with cache invalidation
