Tracked Links that tell you what happened after you shared

A normal link gets someone from one place to another. A Tracked Link also tells you whether it was opened, when, from where, and, if you made it for a person, by whom.

WHAT IT ISA Tracked Link is a short link on your own address with its own QR code and click history. You can attach it to a lead or contact so clicks are recorded on their CRM record, get email or SMS alerts when they open it, and see who to follow up with. Plans limit unique links. Clicks are unlimited.

The dashboard

The dashboard answers three questions: what is getting attention, who should I contact, and how is this trending. A Vutesa Insight strip gives a plain-language note about what stands out. The link table lists label, what was shared, share title, type, who it was made for, clicks, last click and an active switch, and you can filter by type, status, person or creator, and sort by newest, most clicks or last clicked.

Made for a person: how attribution works

Without a person, a click only tells you that someone opened the link. With a person, it tells you that Maria Lopez opened the link you made for her, and when.

  • Clicks on a link made for a named lead or contact are recorded against that person. The visitor is not asked, because it is that person's own link.
  • Clicks on a general link are counted. If the visitor has allowed tracking they are recorded in full, and if not they are counted anonymously.
  • Bots, link previews and crawlers such as the ones messaging apps run are not counted as clicks.
  • A visitor who arrives through your link and then books, submits a form or subscribes can bring the link along as the lead's first known source.
  • Each person's CRM record has a Tracked Links activity panel with their links and click history.

Alerts you can tune

Alerts go to the owner of the link, and only for links made for a lead or contact. Pick email, SMS, both or off. Repeat clicks wait out a cooldown and arrive as one summary, and quiet hours hold alerts until they end. SMS uses your purchased number, and email counts against your sending allowance.

Plan limits, plainly

Your plan sets how many unique Tracked Links you can create: Free 25, Starter 250, Deluxe 2,500, Pro unlimited. One click or a million clicks still counts as one link. Sharing the same page or video again reuses the same link, while a link made for a specific person is its own link. When you reach the limit, existing links keep working and keep counting.

Frequently asked questions

What happens when I reach my limit?

You cannot create more until you upgrade or remove links. Every existing link keeps working and counting clicks.

Will I be alerted for every click?

Only for links made for a named lead or contact. Repeat clicks follow your cooldown and arrive as a summary, and quiet hours hold alerts until they end.

Are bots counted?

No. Link preview crawlers and other bots are excluded from click counts.
