If you’re looking to shorten links in bulk or transfer your existing short links from another link shortener into Linko, you’re in the right place!
Here’s a detailed guide on how to streamline this process.
Steps to shorten and import links in bulk
You can shorten and import links in bulk via a CSV file directly into Linko.
Follow these steps to get started:
-
Log in to your Linko account.
-
Navigate to the Import Links section on your dashboard.
-
Click Choose File to upload your CSV file with all the links you wish to import.
-
Upload your CSV file, ensuring it adheres to the required format (details below).
-
Choose one of Linko’s domain or your branded domain.
-
Select the appropriate redirect type for your links.
-
Click Import to finalize the process and create your shortened links.
Preparing your CSV file for import
To ensure a smooth import process, your CSV file must follow a specific format.
Here’s how you should structure the CSV file:
CSV Format:
longurl, alias, title, description
- longurl: The original URL you wish to shorten.
- alias: A custom alias for the short link. If not provided or already taken, a random alias will be generated.
- title: The title of the link.
- description: A description of the link.
Sample CSV File:
longurl, alias, title, description
https://google.com, google, Google, Google search engine
Ensure that the header is included, but the column names can be customized as long as the order remains the same.
Additional Notes:
- No Limit: There are no limits on how many links you can shorten by uploading a CSV file.
- Custom Alias: If the custom alias you’ve selected is already taken, Linko will automatically generate a random alias for that link.
By following these simple steps, you can easily migrate and manage all your short links in one place using Linko.
Whether you’re switching from another service or just bulk shortening links, Linko’s bulk import feature makes it easy to manage all your links efficiently!
