Creating & managing links

A short link turns a long URL such as https://my-shop.com/products/category/shoes?utm=... into something short like e9e.link/new-shoes. It is easy to type, nice to share in your bio, on WhatsApp, or in print, and every click is counted.

Section titled “Creating a new link”
  1. Open the Links menu and click Create (or New link on the Dashboard).
  2. Enter the Destination URL: the full address you want to share, starting with https://.
  3. Set the URL (back-half). See the explanation below.
  4. (Optional) Add a Title and Tags.
  5. (Optional) Turn on a QR code for this link in the QR panel. See Creating QR codes.
  6. Click Create link in the bottom bar.

Above the form you can see how many links you have used this month compared with your plan’s limit.

Back-half: automatic, generated, or custom

Section titled “Back-half: automatic, generated, or custom”

The back-half is the part after e9e.link/. There are three ways to fill it in:

Method Example Uses custom link quota?
Leave it empty (automatic) e9e.link/k3x9p2a No
Click Generate (random slug) e9e.link/m81qz0d No, but generating has its own monthly limit
Type your own (custom) e9e.link/summer-sale Yes

Rules for a custom back-half:

  • 3–50 characters: lowercase letters, digits, - or _, starting with a letter or digit.
  • At least 5 letters/digits (- and _ don’t count). For example, shop is not enough (4 letters), shop1 is.
  • It must not be taken by someone else, and must not be a word reserved by the system.

The custom link quota is shared by links, QR codes, Pages, and Forms. Below the URL field you can see how many custom links you have used this month. The monthly Generate limit is shown there too (for example “20 generates per month”).

Title and tags

Section titled “Title and tags”
  • Title (optional, max. 200 characters) – a name you will recognize in the list, such as “IG promo December”. Visitors never see it.
  • Tags (optional) – labels for grouping links, such as promo or instagram. Pick an existing tag or type a new one. Up to 10 tags per link, each up to 24 characters.
Section titled “The link list”

The Links menu lists every link in your workspace, plus a summary of the Total, Created this month, Remaining quota, and when the quota Resets.

Use Filter to find links:

  • Search – by slug, title, or destination URL.
  • Status – Active, Blocked, or Archived.
  • Tag – show links with a particular tag.
  • Sort – Newest, Oldest, or Most clicks.

Each row has Copy, Open link, Detail (analytics), Edit, and Delete buttons.

Section titled “Editing a link”

Click Edit on a link. You can change:

  • Destination URL – point the link somewhere else. This is limited per month, see Changing a link’s destination.
  • Title and Tags (separate tags with commas).
  • Slug – the link’s back-half (at least 5 letters/digits).
  • The QR design, if this link has a QR code.

Click Save changes to save.

Section titled “Deleting (archiving) a link”

Click Delete and confirm. The link is archived:

  • It stops working for visitors.
  • Its slug cannot be used again.
  • It stays visible in the list under the Archived status filter.
  • This month’s quota is not given back.

What do visitors see?

Section titled “What do visitors see?”
  • Free plan – visitors see a short ad page with a countdown of a few seconds before being redirected automatically.
  • Paid plans (Starter and up) – visitors go straight to the destination (direct redirect, no ads).

When your plan changes, every link in the workspace updates automatically.
