Link Expiration

Set expiration dates on your short links to automatically disable them after a certain time.

Overview

Expiring links are automatically disabled after a date and time you choose. After expiration, visitors will see a friendly "link expired" page instead of being redirected. This is ideal for time-sensitive promotions, temporary access, or event-based content.

How to Set an Expiration

  1. 1

    Create or Edit a Link

    Open your dashboard and create a new link or edit an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the Expiration Date

    Toggle the Link Expiration switch and pick a date and time using the calendar.

  3. 3

    Save

    Click Save. The link will stop redirecting automatically after the chosen date.

  • You can combine expiration with password protection for maximum control.
