How to Duplicate a Link

The Duplicate feature lets you quickly create a new link based on an existing one. All of the original link's settings are copied over, saving you time when you need to create similar links with minor variations.

What Gets Copied

When you duplicate a link, almost everything is carried over to the new link:

  • Destination URL — the URL the link redirects to
  • UTM parameters — source, medium, campaign, term, and content
  • Tracking pixels — Google Analytics (GA4), Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel
  • Link behaviour — cloaking, bot blocking, referrer hiding, parameter forwarding
  • Custom social previews — OG title, description, and image
  • Rules — link rotation rules, geo-targeting rules, and device targeting
  • Expiry settings — expiry date, click limit, and expiry destination
  • QR code styling — colours, logo, and design
  • Password protection
  • Webhooks and notifications
  • HTML injection — custom head and body tags

What Gets Reset

A few things are set fresh on the new link:

  • Link slug — a new random slug is generated to avoid conflicts
  • Click statistics — the new link starts with zero clicks
  • Created date — the new link gets a new timestamp

You can edit any of the copied settings before saving the new link.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The duplicated link starts with zero clicks. Only the link's settings and configuration are copied.

Will the duplicate have the same short URL?

No. A new random slug is generated automatically so that each link has a unique short URL. You can change the slug to a custom one before saving.

The duplicate is created in the same workspace as the original link. To move it to a different workspace, use the Move Links feature after creating the duplicate.

No. You can duplicate a link as many times as you like. Each duplicate is an independent link with its own settings and statistics.
