Create a short link
1
Open the dialog
Under LINK → Übersicht (overview), click Neuen Link anlegen (create new link). Faster: the C key or ⌘ K → “Link erstellen” (create link).
2
Choose the short link
Under Kurzlink (short link) you choose the domain (only if you have several) and the ending, e.g.
merch. The arrow button next to it creates a random ending. Below you see the finished link.3
Enter the target
Under Ziel-URL (target URL) enter the address the link should lead to. It has to start with
https:// or http://.4
Optional: group and start time
Gruppe (group) files the link. Set Live ab (live from) if the link should only redirect later. Empty means: right away.
5
Create
Link anlegen (create link). The link works right away, or from the start time.
Rules for the ending
- Lowercase letters, digits and
. _ ~ -. Uppercase letters become lowercase. - Slashes work too, e.g.
deals/voltaro. That way you build your own sections. - Only
apiis reserved, as the whole first part:apiandapi/…don’t work,apidocsordeals/apido. - Each ending exists only once per domain. Deleted links also keep their ending for 30 days, so you can restore them.
Live from: unlocking links at a specific time
For drops, premieres or giveaways: with Live ab the short link only redirects from the chosen time on. Before that, the visitor lands where unknown links land too, see fallback target. So you can put the link into the video description and story today. In the overview such links show Live ab …, and the filter Geplant (scheduled) shows them to you.Groups
Groups sort your links, e.g. by campaign or platform. In the overview links are listed by group, “Ohne Gruppe” (no group) last. Groups can be collapsed.1
Create a group
In the overview click + Gruppe, enter a name, e.g. “Twitch Overlays”, and Anlegen (create). In the dialog “Neuen Link anlegen” you can also do it directly via Neue Gruppe (new group).

Assign links
When creating, in the menu of a row or in the details of a link.
