Make a Link That Expires — By Date or After N Clicks
A Linkly short link that shuts itself off: a cut-off date and time, an optional click limit, and an expiry destination so latecomers land on an 'offer ended' page instead of a dead link.

- 0:00Links that outlive the offer
- Your offer ends Friday. But your link? That lives forever, unless you tell it not to. Today, a link that shuts itself off. By date, or after a number of clicks. And you choose where latecomers land. Let's set it up in Linkly.
- 0:14How expiry works
- Here's the idea. Your link runs until the deadline. When the clock passes it, the link closes. Anyone late gets sent to a page you choose. An offer ended page, a waitlist, whatever fits. Or cap it by clicks instead. Hit the limit, and it shuts.
- 0:30Build it in Linkly
- Let's build it. Paste the destination. Then open Link expiration. Here's the cut-off date and time. Friday night, end of day. Next, a click limit, if you want one. A thousand, in this case. Whichever comes first wins. Then the expiry destination. That's where latecomers land, instead of a dead page. Name the ending. And save. Done. This link now retires itself on Friday night.
- 0:54Set it and forget it
- No dead links. No out of date offers. Set it, and forget it. Everything you need is just below this video.
