ClikBy basic settings: the foundation of efficient work
Getting setup right from the start saves hours later and protects your data. 5–10 minutes for a basic configuration — and work is easier from there.
Below are the key settings sections, what they are for, and recommendations for different types of business.
Account settings
Basic information, plans, and access management.
User profile
A correct profile affects reports, the stats timezone, and interface personalization.
Basic information
Name and email appear in reports and on the site.
Time zone
Critical for charts and reports — all stats are built in the selected zone.
Interface language
Affects the interface and email notifications.
Plans and billing
Subscription management, limits, and payment history.
Current plan
The active plan with limits on links, clicks, and extra features.
Link settings
Domains, aliases, and default parameters.
Domain management
Primary domain
Used by default for new links — clik.by or your own.
Backup domains
In case the primary domain is blocked in social networks or ad systems.
Default settings
Alias length
Minimum characters for auto-generated aliases.
Default tags
Tags make work and data analysis easier.
UTM parameters
You can set your own UTM tags for each link.
Совет: define the UTM scheme in advance — then data in GA and other systems will stay consistent.
Security
Account protection and access settings.
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
A required setting against unauthorized access.
Check your email
The 2FA activation code will be sent there.
Enter the code from the email
When signing in to ClikBy, enter the code from the email.
A code at every sign-in
This is an extra layer of account protection.
API keys
Tokens for integrations and automation.
IP restrictions
Access only from allowed IPs — for large companies.
Notifications
Email reports and event alerts.
Weekly reports
Recommended for regular monitoring of link performance.
Limit notifications
Alerts when you approach plan limits (around 90%).
Suspicious activity
Unusual traffic, suspicious clicks, or sign-in attempts.
Recommendations for different types of business
Small business
- Simple aliases: clear link names
- Basic UTM: a single tagging scheme
Large business
- API integrations: automating link creation
- Advanced analytics: export to corporate BI
An important principle: start with basic settings and add complexity as needs grow. A simple working configuration is better than a complex unused one.
