Smart links are ClikBy's main tool for tracking and analyzing visits. Below are all creation and setup stages.

Smart link creation basics

Go to the «Smart links» section and paste the original URL into the creation field. After shortening, the link is ready for basic use.

Advanced settings

Click the gear to the left of the «Shorten» button — the full edit menu opens.

Domain and shortening settings

Домен: you pick the one you need from the list. Domains are added in the «Domains» section.

Shortening text: the part after the domain, for example clik.by/kfcapp. Make it catchy and memorable.

Метка: the campaign the link belongs to. Visible only to you; it helps structure links.

Validity period settings

Valid until date: the validity period of the primary link.

Link after expiry: where to send after it ends + auto-redirect after 5 seconds. Specify the button text.

Text after expiry: a message to the user, for example «The promo has ended».

Traffic filtering

Smart filtering: filtering out bots and fraud. Off by default.

AI Selena analysis: filtering through AI. Off by default.

Stats: private, public, or password-protected.

Unavailability: disable the link without deleting it.

Targeting and visit conditions

Flexible setup and testing of conditions:

  • No conditions: by default.
  • Страна: different links/limits by geo.
  • Platform: Android → Google Play, iPhone → App Store.
  • Language: different URLs for different interface languages.
  • Rotation: A/B tests — 2+ links with a click limit, then the primary one.
