Getting Started

This walks you through creating your first tracked link, sharing it, and watching the click come through. Five minutes end-to-end. No custom domain, no A/B test, no conversion pixel — just the basic flow so you understand the moving parts.

Go to Click Tracking → Links → New Link.

Fill in:

  • Name — anything that helps you remember what this link is for (e.g. "Spring Promo — Facebook Ad").
  • Slug — the short identifier that appears in the URL (e.g. spring-promo). Auto-generated if you leave it blank.
  • Destination URL — paste your landing page URL into the first path's "Direct URL" field.

Leave everything else at defaults. Click Save.

After save, the link's full URL appears at the top of the page:

https://click.yourdomain.com/c/spring-promo

This is what you share — paste it into ad platforms, email campaigns, social posts, anywhere.

Custom Domain

By default the link uses your account's tracking domain. If you've added a Custom Domain, pick it from the Domain dropdown on the link form to use your own branded URL.

3. Click It​

Open the link URL in your browser. You'll be redirected to your destination URL with a few extra query parameters appended:

https://your-landing-page.com/?click_id=550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000&utm_source=...

The click_id is the unique ID for this click. It travels with the visitor so you can attribute conversions back to it later.

4. Find the Click in the Click Log​

Go to Click Tracking → Click Log.

You should see a row with:

  • The slug you created
  • A timestamp around when you clicked
  • Geo info (country, region, city — based on your IP)
  • Device info (mobile / desktop / tablet, OS, browser)
  • The destination URL the system picked

That's it — you've recorded your first tracked click.

The redirect alone tells you the click happened. To know what the visitor did on the destination page (engagement, scroll depth, time on page, conversion), install the Tracking Pixel:

  1. From your link's edit page, scroll to the Pixels section.
  2. Copy the Tracking Pixel snippet.
  3. Paste it at the top of your destination page's <head>.

Now every click will also include engagement data: did the visitor stay on the page, how far did they scroll, did they show signs of attention/interest/desire?

6. Add a Conversion Pixel (Optional)​

If your funnel has a thank-you page or "order complete" page, paste the Conversion Pixel there to record conversions:

  1. From your link's edit page, in the Pixels section, customize the conversion type (sale / lead / signup) and revenue.
  2. Copy the Conversion Pixel snippet.
  3. Paste it on your thank-you page.

Each visitor who reaches the thank-you page now triggers a conversion, attributed back to whichever click brought them there. See Conversion Pixel for the full guide.

What's Next​

You now have a working tracked link. From here, the docs cover everything you can layer on:

  • Links — Multiple destinations, weighted distribution, redirect modes
  • Paths and Rules — A/B variants, country/device rules, weight ratios
  • Sources — Capture ad platform parameters (gclid, fbclid, custom Tokens)
  • Custom Domains — Use your own domain (e.g. click.yourbusiness.com)
  • Reports — Aggregate views by link, source, country, device
