To help marketers, creators, and teams run flash sales, limited-time giveaways, event registrations, and scheduled drops effortlessly, we are excited to launch our brand-new Temporary Link service! Instead of manually enabling or disabling links late at night, you can now pre-schedule both launch and expiration times with automated lifecycle control.
1. Flexible Duration & Cross-Timezone Scheduling
- Customizable Active Duration (5 Minutes to 30 Days): Choose quick presets (30m, 1h, 6h, 24h, 72h, 7d) or fine-tune the exact hours and minutes your link stays active.
- Scheduled Launch & Global Timezones: Activate links immediately or schedule them up to 120 days in advance with built-in international timezone support.
2. Smart 3-Stage Experience: Pre-Launch Teaser, Active Redirect & Post-Expiry Fallback
- Live Pre-Launch Countdown: Visitors clicking before the scheduled start time see a dedicated live countdown page with your custom message. The destination URL remains hidden until the timer hits zero, then automatically redirects visitors in real time.
- Instant Access While Active: During the active window, visitors are seamlessly directed straight to your destination page.
- Auto-Expiry & Fallback Redirect URL: Once expired, the original redirect stops immediately and displays a closing notice. You can also set a Fallback URL to guide late visitors to your main store or next event so no traffic is ever wasted.
3. All-in-One Social Preview Cards, UTM Builder & QR Codes
- Custom Social Preview Cards: Customize your title, description, 6 visual cover themes, or upload a custom cover image (up to 1MB max), and preview all 3 link stages live on screen.
- UTM Tracking & Print-Ready QR Codes: Includes a two-way synced GA4 UTM parameter builder, custom short aliases, and high-resolution QR code downloads.
