Value

Why Link Templates Matter

Modern teams need more than just simple redirects. They need systems that grow with them.

  • Standardize & Scale

    Ensure every link across your organization follows the same naming and structure conventions, eliminating human error in production.

  • Dynamic Placeholders

    Inject context dynamically. Use tokens to pass user IDs, product SKUs, or campaign codes directly into your destination URLs without manual editing.

  • Faster Workflows

    Launch campaign links in seconds. Once a template is set, creating a specific route only requires providing the variables, not rebuilding the URL.

Process

The Template Lifecycle

  1. Define Structure

    Build your base URL and identify where dynamic data should be injected.

    Base pattern: site.com/r/{id}.
  2. Use Placeholders

    Assign variable names to parts of your URL that will change across links.

    Available tokens: sku, lang.
  3. Apply Across Redirects

    Select the template when creating redirects and fill in the values.

    Final result: site.com/r/shoe-123.
