Managing Shortlinks

Once you've created shortlinks, the dashboard gives you control over them — search, edit, copy, generate a QR code, delete, and bulk-import via CSV.

Dashboard Overview

The Links screen (/, the dashboard home) displays all your shortlinks. Each row shows:

Column	Description
Slug	The short identifier (e.g. abc123)
Target URL	A truncated preview of the destination URL
Title	The optional label you gave the link (blank if not set)
Clicks	Total number of redirects (only tracked if tracking is enabled)
Created	When the link was created
Actions	Edit, copy, QR code, and delete

Searching

Use the search bar at the top of the screen to find links. It matches across the slug, title, and target URL, and filters as you type. There are no advanced filters (by date, click count, etc.) in the current version.

Editing a Shortlink

1. Find the link and click the edit (pencil) icon
2. A dialog opens with three tabs:
   • Basic — change the Target URL, Title, Domain, and Tracking toggle
   • Routing — add or edit routing rules (country / device / time)
   • QR — preview and download the link's QR code (SVG or PNG)
3. Click Save

The slug can't be changed

The back-half (slug) of an existing shortlink is fixed. If you need a different slug, create a new link and delete the old one.

Changes take effect immediately; existing shares keep working — only the destination, title, tracking, or rules change.

Copying & QR Codes

• Copy — click the copy icon to put the full short URL on your clipboard.
• QR code — open the QR tab in the edit dialog (or the QR action) to download a QR code as SVG or PNG.

Deleting a Shortlink

1. Click the delete (trash) icon on the link
2. Confirm in the dialog ("Delete this link? This cannot be undone.")

Permanent

Deleting a shortlink is irreversible — the slug stops resolving and its click analytics are removed.

Bulk Import & Export (CSV)

Bulk work happens on the dedicated Bulk ops screen (/bulk), which imports and exports CSV.

Import (bulk create)

1. Open Bulk ops from the sidebar (/bulk)
2. Upload a .csv file. Recognized columns (a header row is optional — without one, the first column is treated as the URL):
   • url (or target) — the destination (required)
   • slug — an optional custom back-half
   • title — an optional label
3. Review the parsed rows, then run the import
4. Each row reports success (with its new shortlink) or an error — the import is partially applied, so a few bad rows don't block the rest

The number of rows imported per run is capped by your plan's bulk limit (Starter 100, Pro 500; bulk import is not available on Free when billing is enforced — see Billing & Usage).

Export

From the same screen you can export your links to a CSV (short URL, target, hit count, created date) for backup or analysis.

Bulk update & delete via API

The dashboard's bulk screen is import/export only. Bulk update and delete across many links are available through the GraphQL updateLnkifies / deleteLnkifies mutations and the MCP update_lnkifies / delete_lnkifies tools — see Mutations and MCP Tools.
