Forwarding URL Query String Parameters

Linkly can forward URI parameters to the destination.

For example, if you have a Linkly link like:

https://l.linklyhq.com/l/n5a?gclid=1234

Linkly can send the gclid=1234 onto the destination.

You’d normally use this if you’re integrating with another tracking solution, like Google Analytics.

Linkly can automatically forward query parameters onto the destination.

Now, whenever you append ?example=query to your Linkly link, Linkly will redirect the visitor to a destination and append the same query string.

Linkly will also record these parameters in the traffic reports.

Linkly supports a wide range of URI formats, including mailto, SMS and tel links, support for query string forwarding is limited to normal web URLs.

Yes, enabling 'Forward Parameters' will mean these get passed to the destination, as well as recorded in Linkly.
