Short links
Create short links using the bki.sh domain. Track clicks and share clean URLs.
What are short links?
Short links are compact URLs that redirect to your content:
- Short:
bki.sh/abc123 - Redirects to:
https://your-long-url.com/path/to/content
Use them in social posts, emails, and anywhere character count matters.
Creating a short link
- Go to Publish → Short links in the sidebar
- Click Create short link
- Enter:
- Destination URL: Where the link should go
- Custom slug (optional): Custom ending (e.g.,
bki.sh/my-link)
- Click Create
Short link format
Links use the bki.sh domain:
| Type | Example |
|---|---|
| Auto-generated | bki.sh/7x9kp2 |
| Custom slug | bki.sh/api-guide |
Tracking clicks
Each short link tracks:
- Total clicks

Redirect limits
Monthly redirect limits vary by plan:
| Plan | Redirects/month |
|---|---|
| Starter | 1,000 |
| Growth | 10,000 |
| Scale | 100,000 |
Redirects reset monthly. Links continue working but stop tracking after the limit.
Managing short links
Edit a short link
- Find the link in the list
- Click to open
- Update the destination URL
- Save
The short link stays the same; only the destination changes.
Delete a short link
- Open the short link
- Click Delete
- Confirm
Warning: Deleted links return a 404. Any shared links will break.
Custom slugs
Custom slugs make links memorable:
bki.sh/startinstead ofbki.sh/x7p9q
Custom slug rules:
- Lowercase letters, numbers, hyphens
- No spaces or special characters
- Must be unique in your workspace
Best practices
Use custom slugs for important links: Makes them shareable and memorable.
Track campaign links: Create separate links for different campaigns.
Monitor usage: Watch for links approaching limits.
Don't delete active links: Check click stats before removing.
