Hi Sarah —
Quick update on the campaign you signed off in July. Performance has been strong; we put together a one-page summary with the headline metrics.
Read the summary: acme.co/q3-report
Your own domain, every send
Replace HubSpot's tracking domain with your brand domain. Recipients see acme.co, not track.hubspot.com.
Trust on cold outreach
Particularly important for Sales Hub cold sequences — your brand domain converts trust where a HubSpot URL might not.
Attribution that survives
If you migrate from HubSpot to another platform in 18 months, your Linkly analytics history follows you.
How Linkly + HubSpot works
Three steps. No platform migration, no protocol change.
Add your branded domain to Linkly
One-time DNS step. acme.co becomes your branded short-link domain — automatic SSL, no DNS expertise required.
Generate short links per campaign
Via Linkly dashboard, browser extension, or REST API. Each link has its own analytics, taggable by HubSpot campaign or persona.
Paste into your HubSpot send
Marketing email, Sales sequence, SMS, workflow — any HubSpot send module accepts a Linkly short link as a URL.
Built for HubSpot
Branded, trackable, scriptable — every link you send runs on infrastructure that handles billions of clicks.
Branded short domains
Use your own brand domain (acme.co/promo) on every short link. One-time DNS setup, automatic SSL, unlimited links per domain.
Per-link analytics
Every short link reports geographic, device, and time-of-day click data. Tag links to roll up by segment, variant, or send window.
API for high-volume
Create up to 1,000 short links per API request. Webhook every click into your data warehouse. Build the integration in under a day.
Smart redirects
Route the same link to different destinations by country, device, or time. One link in the message, the right landing page for each recipient.
Setup — no code required
HubSpot's email, SMS, and workflow modules accept any URL. For one-off campaigns, drop a Linkly short link directly into the message body. For programmatic use cases — Sales sequences, lifecycle workflows, per-recipient links — pull short links from Linkly's REST API via HubSpot Operations or a webhook trigger.
Sales reps can also generate one-off short links from the Linkly Chrome extension without leaving the HubSpot dashboard.
Why branded links matter on HubSpot
HubSpot's tracking URLs use HubSpot-owned domains, which mean every link in your email reads as a tracked HubSpot URL rather than a clean brand link. For warm marketing-to-existing-customer sends that's usually fine. For cold outreach (Sales Hub sequences) and for prospects who aren't yet familiar with your brand, a recognisable domain converts trust where an opaque tracking URL can read as either spam or sketchy.
Attribution is also separable from HubSpot. If you migrate to Iterable, Customer.io, Klaviyo, or any other ESP in 18 months, your Linkly analytics history follows you — same short links, same destinations, same dashboard. The data isn't locked to whatever HubSpot subscription tier you happen to be on.
Cross-channel matters too: the same Linkly branded domain works across HubSpot, your transactional email provider, your SMS provider, your social bios, and printed materials. One short-link inventory, one analytics dashboard — every channel.
Pricing that scales with your sends
Linkly's free plan is real — not a 14-day trial. For most HubSpot teams it's enough to evaluate end-to-end before paying for anything.

HubSpot link shortener — frequently asked questions
- What is the HubSpot link shortener integration?
- Linkly works alongside HubSpot — generate branded short links in Linkly (via dashboard, Chrome extension, or REST API), then paste them into your HubSpot emails, sequences, SMS, or workflows. HubSpot's send modules accept any URL, so Linkly slots in without a native integration.
- Does this work with HubSpot Marketing Hub, Sales Hub, or both?
- Both — plus Service Hub and HubSpot CMS. Anywhere HubSpot lets you put a URL, you can put a Linkly short link. Marketing Hub email campaigns, Sales Hub cold sequences, Service Hub ticket replies, HubSpot CMS pages and landing pages — all accept Linkly URLs as text.
- How is this different from HubSpot's own URL tracking?
- HubSpot wraps outbound URLs in HubSpot-owned tracking URLs (track.hubspot.com/...) so it can record clicks. Useful inside HubSpot, but the data is locked to HubSpot and the link itself reads as a HubSpot-tracked URL. Linkly tracks clicks on your own branded domain (acme.co/q3-report) — same data, separate from HubSpot, portable across platforms.
- Does Linkly work in HubSpot sequences and workflows?
- Yes. Static short links can be inserted into a HubSpot sequence step or workflow email like any other URL. For per-recipient or per-record personalised short links, use a HubSpot workflow with a custom code action or webhook step that calls Linkly's REST API and substitutes the resulting URL into the email body.
- Can I use my own domain across HubSpot, Klaviyo, and Twilio simultaneously?
- Yes. A custom domain in Linkly works across every channel and every platform. Many marketers use the same short domain in HubSpot emails, Klaviyo SMS, Twilio transactional sends, social bios, QR codes on packaging, and printed materials — one short-link inventory, one analytics dashboard.
- Will branded short links improve HubSpot email deliverability?
- Generally yes for cold sends. Inbox filters increasingly flag emails that contain generic tracking URLs, particularly for cold outreach. A branded short link on a domain that matches your sending domain reads as legitimate — improving inbox placement for Sales Hub sequences and lifecycle marketing alike.
- What does this cost?
- Linkly's free plan handles up to 500 link clicks per month at no cost, including one custom domain. Growth plans scale with click volume — typical HubSpot teams running 50k–500k tracked emails per month land on Growth. Enterprise plans cover SSO, audit logs, custom DPA, and dedicated SLA for procurement-stage deployments.
- Can sales reps generate one-off short links from HubSpot directly?
- Yes — install the Linkly Chrome extension. Reps can shorten any URL with one click without leaving the HubSpot dashboard. The resulting branded short link can be pasted into a Sales Hub email, sequence, or chat message. Each link gets its own analytics tagged to the rep or campaign.
