Quick start

This walks you from a signed-in account to a working short link, a scannable QR code, a published bio page and your first analytics read. It takes about five minutes and assumes you have already created your account.

On this page​

1. Create a short link​

  1. Go to Dashboard → Links and press New link, which opens the full-page form at /dashboard/links/new.
  2. Paste your destination URL.
  3. Leave the short code blank to get a generated one, or type your own.
  4. Save.

The address you copy is https://trizlink.com/<code>. The form has ten sections — Destination, Short code, Security, Expiry, Targeting, A/B split, UTM, QR, Pixels and Social card — and every one after the first two is optional, so a link with only a destination is a complete link.

A generated code is six characters drawn from a 32-symbol alphabet with 0, O, 1, l and I removed, because a short link's job is to survive being read off a poster and typed into a different device. Codes are unique case-insensitively across the whole product, so Spring26 and spring26 cannot both exist.

Full field reference: Short links.

2. Draw its QR code​

Open the link's QR section. The code is drawn from the short URL as an SVG, and nothing about it is stored — which is what stops it from ever disagreeing with the link.

The one control is the error-correction level: L, M (the default), Q or H. Higher correction survives more damage and makes the code denser.

Two buttons under the code download it: PNG at 1,024 pixels square for print, or SVG for any size. Both are drawn in your browser from the short URL. More, including what counting scans costs you: QR codes.

3. Publish a bio page​

  1. Go to Dashboard → Bio pages and create a page.
  2. Pick a layout: Minimal, Portfolio or Spotlight. These are three different shapes, not three colour schemes — colour comes from whichever theme the visitor is in.
  3. Add blocks. There are fifteen types, from a plain link button to a countdown, an email capture form or an embedded video.
  4. Set the slug. The page publishes to trizlink.com/<slug>.
  5. Press Publish.

A page stays a draft until you publish it, and drafts do not count against your plan's page allowance. Your slug shares one address space with short codes, so a name already used by a link is refused rather than quietly shadowing it. Detail: Bio pages.

4. Read the clicks​

Open /dashboard/analytics for the workspace, or a single link's analytics from the Links list.

You get clicks over time plus four breakdowns: country, device, referrer and browser. The range selector offers today, 7, 14, 30 and 91 days, and the 91-day range needs a plan whose history window reaches that far.

Two things to know before you read a number:

  • This is not a live feed. Figures are fetched when you open the page and again when you reload or change the range. Nothing streams in behind you.
  • Click counts are best-effort, here and everywhere. Bots inflate a count, a link preview invents one, a privacy blocker removes one you really got. Treat the shape as reliable and the last digit as not.

Detail, including exactly what is stored per click: Analytics.

5. What to set up next​

  • Add a domain you own, and verify it — Custom domains. Read that page's limits section first: verification works today, serving does not.
  • Group links with folders and labels, or import a spreadsheet — Link organisation.
  • Tag campaigns, attach a pixel, or receive webhooks — Tracking and UTM.
  • Invite people and give them roles — Workspaces and teams.

FAQ​

Do I need to install anything?​

No. Trizlink runs in a browser. The Android app is optional, and there is no browser extension.

Indefinitely, unless you set an expiry date or a click ceiling. Neither deletes the link — an expired link shows an expiry page until you extend or remove it.

Yes. Edit the link; the short address stays the same while the destination changes. That is one reason the redirect is answered fresh rather than cached forever by every visitor.

Yes. The Free plan allows 1,000 short links and 50,000 tracked clicks a month; Pro allows 50,000 links and 500,000 clicks; Team is fair use on links with 2,000,000 clicks. Going over the click allowance stops new clicks being recorded — it never stops your links working.

Why is my new link's analytics page empty?​

Because it has no history yet. A link created a minute ago has nothing to show, and the page says so rather than drawing a chart of zeroes.

Where does everything live after setup?​

Under Dashboard: Links, Bio pages, Analytics, Social, Developers (API keys, webhooks, pixels, widgets, tools), Workspace and Account.
