Short Links

TrizLink short links are compact, shareable URLs that point to your original long links and redirect visitors through the path trizlink.com/l/<shortCode>. Each short link can carry an optional custom alias, an optional password, and an optional expiry date, and every one is created with its own QR code and live click statistics. You build and manage them entirely from the TrizLink dashboard, signing in with your Google account. Short links keep the destination editable and measurable while giving you a clean, brandable URL to share anywhere.

What you can do​

You can turn any long URL into a short link, optionally set a memorable custom alias instead of a random code, lock a link behind a password, and schedule an expiry date. Every short link comes with a downloadable QR code and live click stats, and you organise all of them on the dashboard Links page with search and filtering.

Use cases​

  • Share a clean campaign URL. Replace a long, parameter-heavy marketing URL with a short, readable one you can drop into emails, posts, or print.
  • Gate access with a password. Share a resource that should only open for people you give the password to, such as an early-access page or a draft.
  • Run a time-limited promotion. Set an expiry date so a flash-sale or event link stops redirecting after the offer ends and shows a clear "link expired" page.
  • Hand out a memorable link. Use a custom alias so the short link reads as something people can recognise or type, rather than a random string.
  • Track engagement. Watch live click stats to see whether a shared link is actually getting traffic.

How it works​

  1. Sign in with Google and open the dashboard, then go to the Links page.
  2. Click to create a new link, which opens the full-page form at /dashboard/links/new.
  3. Paste your long URL, then optionally add a custom alias, a password, and an expiry date.
  4. Save the link to generate its short URL (trizlink.com/l/<shortCode>) and its QR code.
  5. Copy the short link or download the QR code, and share it wherever you need.
  6. Return to the Links page anytime to search, filter, edit, or review click stats for each link.

Tips​

  • Choose a short, descriptive custom alias for links you expect people to read or remember.
  • Use a password only when you genuinely need to restrict access, since visitors must enter it on a password entry page before they are redirected.
  • Set an expiry date for anything seasonal so the link automatically stops working when you intend.
  • Remember that TrizLink does not delete expired links automatically; an expired link simply shows a "link expired" page until you remove or edit it.
  • Check live click stats after sharing to confirm the link is reaching people.

FAQ​

A short link uses the public redirect path trizlink.com/l/<shortCode>, where the code is either auto-generated or the custom alias you chose.

Can I set my own custom alias?​

Yes. When creating a link you can enter an optional custom alias instead of accepting the random short code, as long as it is available.

How does password protection work?​

If you add a password, visitors first land on a password entry page and must enter the correct password before TrizLink redirects them to the destination.

Visitors to an expired link see a "link expired" page instead of being redirected. TrizLink does not delete expired links automatically, so you stay in control of when to remove them.

Yes. Every short link is created with its own QR code that you can view, customise, and download for screens or print.

All your links live on the dashboard Links page, where you can search and filter, then open any link to edit it or view its analytics.

Yes. TrizLink is a free link-management platform, and short link creation is part of it. Sign-in is with your Google account.
