Previously Linkly QR codes all downloaded with the same name; now we’ll use the link name to make it clearer what the destination is.

You can now go straight to reports or open a link from the ‘Edit link’ page.

We’ve improved the way dashboard buttons work. It works better for smaller screens and many data columns.

We’ve improved the link generation API to automatically generate slugs for custom domains. It works for spreadsheet uploads and API requests.

Now, if you select a domain, but leave the slug field blank, Linkly will automatically generate a slug for you, and return the complete link in response.

We’ve ended our beta of Call-to-Action, and the feature will be discontinued.

Links using this feature will continue to function as normal, after which they will be converted to normal redirects.

Today we’ve significantly improved our CSV import functionality. Now, Linkly will return a spreadsheet of imported links, or link creation failures. In addition, it’s now possible to set up rotators, device and geo-targeted links directly from a spreadsheet.

Logins on Linkly will now last for 30 days, up from 24 hours. This should reduce how often you need to login.

Our API has been upgraded to support arrays, so you can generate thousands of links in a single request.

Users who previously had a password on Linkly can now login using a passwordless login.

Users old passwords have been discarded entirely.

Today we’re deprecating our Recaptcha traffic monitoring feature.

Our network based bot detection has improved. It is faster and more reliable, and supercedes the capabilities of ReCaptcha.

You can see our bot differential in the ‘Robots’ tab on the traffic reports.

When you search in the dashboard, the export links will now update a search parameter, meaning these API endpoints now allow filtering of your links. It also works for Google Sheets.

You can search view and sort expiring links on the dashboard, by adjusting the column visibility.

We’ve long monitored our uptime internally. Quick responses to outages are particularly important for an URL shortener processing millions of clicks per day. We’re now publishing our uptime and system status here.

As we proceed to move towards getting our Zapier Integration our of beta, we’ve made some improvements.

Previous versions of the integration have been deprecated, and users will need to upgrade to version 2.1.0 to keep their zaps running.

This should be last major update before getting our integration live. If you’d like to use our Zapier Integration, you can join the beta here.

We have removed the old OpenAPI reporting URLs, as they have been superseded by the copy-and-paste API requests available inside Linkly.

We’ve made the dashboard export links more visible. You can now get the data from the dashboard as a live feed to use in Google Sheets.

Links are now shown in the order of descending 30-day traffic by default.

We’ve improved our Zapier Click Triggers to now include details of the link that was clicked.

This should make it easier to build actions without requiring an explicit Link ID. Old zaps should continue working without interruption.

Today we’ve upgraded our systems to remove Google’s deprecated Google Analytics 3 (Universal Analytics).

Google Analytics 4 is now the preferred way to track Linkly campaigns using GA.

We’ve upgraded the reporting API endpoints for click tracking data in CSV, JSON & Google Sheets formats.

Performance is much faster for workspaces with large traffic volumes.
