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.
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.
Tracked Links and Quick Links
Use a Tracked Link when you want to measure: it has its own short URL, a QR code and optional person attribution. Use a Quick Link when you only need a convenient link to one of your public pages. Quick Links are instant and unlimited, but they are not tied to a person and their clicks are not tracked.
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
How many Tracked Links can I create?
Free 25, Starter 250, Deluxe 2,500 and Pro unlimited. The limit counts unique links. Clicks and views are always unlimited.
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.
Can a Tracked Link point to another website?
Tracked Links point to pages on your Upward site: your page, videos, work, reviews, meeting types, MySites and custom paths. Socializer posts can forward to an outside website after the visit is counted.
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.
Can I send a Tracked Link by email or text?
Yes. After creating a link for a person, you can email or text it from the same screen and re-send it later from the follow-up list.
