Managing Your Links

Create, edit, organise, and manage your short links like a pro

The Links Page

The Links page is your central hub for managing all your shortened URLs. It displays your links in a table with the following columns:

EziLink — your short link URL (e.g. ezl.me/x8k2p)
Original URL — the destination the link redirects to
Tags — any tags you have assigned for organisation
Date Created — when the link was first created
Date Last Edited — when the link was most recently modified

Above the table, you will find three filter tabs to quickly narrow your view:

All — every link in your account
Active — links that are currently working
Expired — links that have passed their expiration date

Creating a New Link

Click the "+ Create New Link" button to open the link creation form. Here is a breakdown of every field available:

The link creation form with all fields, QR preview, and Creator Pass toolbar options

EziLink (Short URL)

This row determines the short URL that will be generated for your link:

Domain selector — choose from ezl.me (the default domain) or any custom domains you have verified. Custom domains are available on the Creator Pass
Custom alias PRO — type a memorable alias instead of a random code. For example, ezl.me/summer-sale instead of ezl.me/a3x9k. Allowed characters: letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores (3-50 characters)
Random generator button — click the refresh icon to generate a new random short code. Free plan users always receive a randomly generated code

Destination URL (Required)

The full URL where visitors will be redirected when they click your short link. Must start with http:// or https://. You can change this at any time after creating the link.

Comments

Add internal notes about the link. Comments are only visible to you and will never be shown to link visitors. Useful for noting campaign details, target audience, or context.

Creator Pass Link Options PRO

The toolbar at the bottom of the link creation form provides access to advanced options available on the Creator Pass:

Password Protection PRO

Require visitors to enter a password before they are redirected to the destination URL. Perfect for sharing private documents, exclusive content, or internal resources.

Click the Password button in the toolbar
Enter a password of your choice
Visitors will see a password prompt when they click the link
To remove protection, clear the password field and save

Expiration Date and Time PRO

Set an exact date and time when the link should stop working. After expiration, visitors will see a message that the link has expired.

Click the Expiration button in the toolbar
Select an expiration date using the date picker
Optionally set a specific time (defaults to midnight if not set)
To remove the expiration, click "Remove" to make the link permanent

Note: Free plan links automatically expire after 60 days. Creator Pass links never expire unless you set a specific date.

UTM Parameters PRO

Append campaign tracking parameters to your destination URL so you can measure the effectiveness of your marketing in tools like Google Analytics. Read the full UTM guide →

Parameter	Purpose	Example
utm_source	Traffic source	`google`, `facebook`, `newsletter`
utm_medium	Marketing medium	`cpc`, `email`, `social`, `banner`
utm_campaign	Campaign name	`summer_sale`, `product_launch`
utm_term	Search keywords	`running+shoes`, `discount`
utm_content	Content identifier	`header_link`, `sidebar_banner`

Targeting Rules PRO

Redirect visitors to different destination URLs based on their location, device, or browser. Non-matching visitors go to the default destination URL.

Country targeting — send visitors from different countries to localised pages
Device targeting — different URLs for mobile vs desktop users
Browser targeting — specific URLs for Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc.
OS targeting — target Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux
Referrer targeting — different destinations based on where traffic originated

Example: Send Australian visitors to example.com/au and US visitors to example.com/us, while everyone else goes to the default destination.

QR Code Preview

Every link automatically receives a QR code. The QR code preview panel appears on the right side of the creation form and updates in real time as you type your destination URL.

Colour picker PRO — change the QR code colour to match your brand
Logo selector PRO — add a centre or corner logo to your QR code for professional branding
Download — download the QR code in PNG or SVG format directly from the preview

Tip: Free plan users receive a standard black-and-white QR code with every link. Upgrade to Creator Pass to customise colours and add your logo.

Editing Links

To edit an existing link:

Go to Links
Click on the link row to expand it and see more details
Click the Edit button to open the edit form
Make your changes and click "Update Link"

The edit modal — update the destination URL, tags, comments, and all other settings

You can change the destination URL, tags, comments, and all Creator Pass options (password, expiration, UTM, targeting). The short URL itself (e.g. ezl.me/summer24) cannot be changed after creation — create a new link if you need a different short code.

Deleting Links

You can delete links individually or in bulk:

Delete a Single Link

Click the link row to expand it
Click the Edit button to open the edit form
Click the red "Delete" button in the bottom-left corner
Confirm the deletion when prompted

Delete Multiple Links

Tick the checkboxes next to each link you want to remove
Click "Delete Selected" from the bulk actions toolbar
Confirm the deletion

Warning: Deleting a link is permanent and cannot be undone. The short URL will stop working immediately, and any existing QR codes or shared links will no longer redirect.

Searching and Filtering

Use the search and filter tools to quickly find the links you need:

Text Search

Type in the search bar to find links by their short code, destination URL, tags, or comments. Results update as you type.

Tag Filter

Select a tag from the dropdown to show only links with that specific tag. This is especially useful when you have many links organised into categories.

Date Filters

Filter links by creation date or last-edited date to find recently created or modified links.

Filter Tabs

All — shows every link (active and expired)
Active — only shows links that are currently working
Expired — only shows links that have passed their expiration date

Tip: Use descriptive tags when creating links (e.g. "social-media", "email-campaign", "client-abc"). This makes filtering and finding links much faster as your collection grows.

Bulk Actions

Select multiple links using the checkboxes to perform actions on them all at once. The bulk actions toolbar appears when at least one link is selected.

The bulk actions toolbar appears when links are selected

Available Bulk Actions

Select All — select every visible link on the current page
Change Domain — move selected links to a different domain (e.g. from ezl.me to your custom domain)
Password Protect — apply password protection to all selected links at once
QR Settings — apply QR code colour or logo settings to multiple links
Delete Selected — permanently delete all selected links

Warning: Bulk delete is permanent and cannot be undone. Double-check your selection before confirming.

CSV Import and Export PRO

Transfer links in bulk using CSV files. Both import and export are available exclusively on the Creator Pass.

Exporting Links

All your links (or your currently filtered selection) will be downloaded as a CSV file

Importing Links

Click the "Import CSV" button
Select your CSV file from your computer
Choose the domain for the imported links

Click "Import" to create the links
