BlinkLink Guides
How-to setup guides: custom domains, retargeting pixels, UTM templates. The exact steps.
Getting started
Make a link, customise the QR, share it. The 30-second tour.
Create your first link
Paste a URL, get a bnkl.me/<something> short link plus a QR. Two ways to do it; same result.
Make a QR that doesn't look like 2009
Colour, gradient, logo, dot shape, error correction. Five presets that get you 90% of the way, plus an editor when you want the last 10%.
See who clicked your link
Total clicks, scans, geography, devices, browsers, sources. Where each number lives in the dashboard.
Link features
Passwords, schedules, smart routing, branded expiry pages.
Password-protect a link
Visitors see a password gate before the redirect fires. Hash-only storage; we never see the password.
Schedule and expire links
Tell a link when to go live and when to stop redirecting. "Visible Friday 9am ET to Sunday midnight."
Branded expiry pages
When a link expires, send the visitor somewhere useful instead of a 404. Headline + CTA + optional auto-redirect.
Smart routing
Send mobile visitors to your app, US traffic to one URL and EU traffic to another, run weekend-only redirects. Rule-list per link.
The trust-badge interstitial
Show visitors where the short link goes before they tap. Builds trust on social posts where short URLs read "sketchy".
Account features
Custom domain, integrations, teams, campaigns.
Set up a custom domain
Use your own short domain (links.yourbrand.com) instead of bnkl.me. Cloudflare DNS, Vercel SSL, end-to-end in about 5 minutes.
Wire up retargeting pixels
Drop a Meta, Google Ads, LinkedIn, or TikTok pixel onto every click of a link so it counts as a conversion in your ad platform.
Save UTM templates
Stop typing the same utm_source / utm_medium / utm_campaign for every link. Save patterns once, apply per-link.
Webhooks: get every click as a POST
Have your own server POSTed to every time a link is clicked. Slack / Discord / your CRM / your spreadsheet.
Campaigns: group links that belong together
Bundle a launch's links into one row, see combined click totals, expire the whole campaign at once.
Invite a team
Up to 6 seats per team. Roles: owner / editor / viewer. Team-shared links are visible to every member.
For power users
API access, programmatic access, automation.
API quickstart
Programmatic access to your links + analytics. Five endpoints, bearer auth, JSON in/out. From signup to first POST in 90 seconds.
Plans & billing
Free vs Pro, notifications, the small print.
Free vs Pro: what you get
The full feature matrix in one page. Plus what we deliberately don't do.
Email notifications: pick what lands
Spike alerts, first clicks, milestones, weekly digest, broken links. Turn each on or off per account.
