Switching from another link shortener? Then you bring your links over in one step.
1

Open the import

In LINK → Übersicht (overview), click Importieren (import).
2

Choose domain and group

Domain applies to all links for which the file doesn’t specify its own domain. Gruppe (group) files all imported links.
3

Choose the source

oxom only uses the key for this one fetch and doesn’t store it.
4

Check the preview

oxom shows how many links are ready and what doesn’t work. With Nur Fehler zeigen (show errors only) you see the problem cases.
5

Import

… Links importieren (import links).

​
What doesn’t get imported

  • Endings that already exist. oxom doesn’t overwrite anything, it reports them to you.
  • Endings that are currently under Zuletzt gelöscht (recently deleted).
  • duplicate rows in the file
  • blocked targets and addresses over 2,048 characters

​
Structure of a CSV file

The columns url (the target) and key (the ending) are required. Optional: title, group, domain, live_at and expires_at. oxom recognizes exports from Bitly, Rebrandly, Dub, Short.io and TinyURL on its own. Comma, semicolon or tab as separator all work.
With expires_at you can give links an expiry date. After that they redirect to the fallback target. So far this only works via the import. Under LINK → Einstellungen → Als CSV exportieren (settings → export as CSV) you download all links as a file: target, ending, domain, title, group, start time, expiry, status, clicks and creation date. Deleted links are not included. You can open the file in any spreadsheet program and import it again later, e.g. as a backup.
