Short links

Create bki.sh short links for tracking

Short links

Create short links using the bki.sh domain. Track clicks and share clean URLs.

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.

  1. Go to PublishShort links in the sidebar
  2. Click Create short link
  3. Enter:
    • Destination URL: Where the link should go
    • Custom slug (optional): Custom ending (e.g., bki.sh/my-link)
  4. Click Create

Links use the bki.sh domain:

TypeExample
Auto-generatedbki.sh/7x9kp2
Custom slugbki.sh/api-guide

Tracking clicks

Each short link tracks:

  • Total clicks
  • Click date/time
  • (Basic analytics by plan)

View stats:

  1. Find the link in your list
  2. Click to open
  3. See the analytics

Redirect limits

Monthly redirect limits vary by plan:

PlanRedirects/month
Starter1,000
Growth10,000
Scale100,000

Redirects reset monthly. Links continue working but stop tracking after the limit.

  1. Find the link in the list
  2. Click to open
  3. Update the destination URL
  4. Save

The short link stays the same; only the destination changes.

  1. Open the short link
  2. Click Delete
  3. Confirm

Warning: Deleted links return a 404. Any shared links will break.

Custom slugs

Custom slugs make links memorable:

  • bki.sh/start instead of bki.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.
