The user Dashboard

A complete walkthrough of every panel and control on the OpenMyLink dashboard — Traffic Overview, Recent Activity, the Shorten Link card, and the full Customize panel with its ten power features.

This is the screen you land on after you sign in. Everything below describes what each panel does and how to use it.

Layout & navigation

The dashboard is split into three regions:

Left sidebar — primary navigation, grouped into Workspace (Dashboard, Bio Pages, QR Codes, SMS, File Hosting, Statistics), Channels (Personal channel + My Channels), and Link Management (Links, Archived Links, Expired Links, Campaigns, Custom Splash, CTA Overlay, Tracking Pixels, Parameter Templates, and more below the fold).
Top bar — the Quick Shortener input, a How-To Guides shortcut, a light/dark theme toggle, the Admin link (visible to admins), and your account avatar with a workspace switcher.
Main canvas — Traffic Overview, the Shorten Link card, and a Recent Activity / Recent Links column on the right.

Quick Shortener (Ctrl + K)

The black Quick Shortener bar at the top of the dashboard is the fastest way to create a link without leaving the page you're on. The keyboard shortcut Ctrl + K (or ⌘ + K on macOS) opens it from any screen. Paste a URL, hit return, and it's shortened against your default domain and personal channel.

If you want to set a custom alias, attach a campaign, or add pixels, use the full Shorten Link card below instead.

Traffic Overview

The first thing you see is a four-block KPI strip plus a daily bar chart:

Total Clicks — running count across every link, QR code, and bio page in your account. Doesn't change with the date filter.
Clicks (Current Period) — total clicks inside the date range selected on the right (default: last 14 days).
Clicks (Today) — clicks since 00:00 in your account timezone.
Date range picker — defaults to a rolling 14-day window. Use the picker to scope all three counters and the chart to a specific period.

The bar chart below the cards plots one bar per day in the selected range. Hovering a bar shows the exact date and click count in a tooltip ("26 May — Clicks: 30").

Recent Activity

The right-hand column streams the latest visitors to any of your assets in near-real-time. Each row shows:

The asset type (Bio Page, Short Link, QR Code) and its alias.
How long ago the visit happened (59 minutes ago, 3 hours ago…).
Country & city (with flag), e.g. Atlanta, United States.
Operating system (Android, Windows 10/11, iOS, macOS…).
Browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Safari…).
Referrer — where the visit came from (e.g. Direct, email or others, or a domain).
Visitor language as a two-letter code.

Use the ⋯ button at the top of the panel to filter by asset type, time window, or country.

Shorten Link card

Below Traffic Overview is the main creation surface. It opens with a single black input prompting "Start here to shorten your long URLs". Paste any URL into the white field below, and the secondary controls fill in around it.

Single vs Multiple mode

The toggle on the right of the card switches between two modes:

Single — the default; shorten one URL at a time with full control over every option below.
Multiple — paste many URLs (one per line) or upload a CSV. Each one is shortened in bulk using the same domain, channel, and customization settings.

Domain

The left dropdown picks which domain the short link uses. Free accounts get openmy.link and openmylink.in; paid plans can add unlimited branded domains. See Use branded domains for setup.

Redirect type

The right dropdown chooses what happens when someone clicks the short link. Five options:

Type	What happens
Direct	Instant 301/302 to the destination. Default. Fastest.
Frame	Loads the destination inside an iframe under your short URL. The address bar keeps showing your branded link. Useful for cloaking affiliate destinations.
Splash	Shows a short OpenMyLink-branded preview page with the destination URL and a "Continue" button. Good for transparency with users.
CTA Overlay → any saved overlay	Loads the destination AND overlays a widget you designed (banner, pop-up, form, button bar) on top of it. The submenu lists every saved overlay (e.g. "Coupon demo"). See CTA overlays.

Custom alias

Your own words after the slash — openmy.link/spring-sale instead of openmy.link/Az9qR. Leave blank to get a random short slug. Use letters, numbers, and dashes; aliases are case-insensitive.

Channel

Channels group links by source (a campaign, a publisher, an internal team). Pick an existing channel from the dropdown or leave on Personal channel. Channels feed both the Statistics page and the channel-level filters across the dashboard.

Password protection

Set a password and visitors must enter it before the redirect runs. The destination URL is never disclosed until they authenticate. Useful for client previews and pre-launch landings.

Description

An internal label, not shown to visitors. Helpful when you have dozens of similar-looking aliases and want to find them in the Links list. Searchable from the Links page.

The Customize panel

The blue Customize button at the bottom of the card opens a small popover with ten advanced controls. Selecting any of them expands the card vertically with the corresponding section. You can combine as many as you need on a single link.

The ten options, in the order they appear in the menu:

Meta Tags
Deep Linking
Advanced Targeting
Geo Targeting
Device Targeting
Language Targeting
Pixels
Expiration
A/B Testing
Parameters

Meta Tags

Control how the link looks when it's shared on social media or chat apps. Three fields:

Upload Custom Banner — drag a JPG, PNG, or JPEG under 500 KB. This becomes the Open Graph image (the big card preview on Facebook, WhatsApp, Slack, X, LinkedIn, iMessage, etc.).
Meta Title — the headline shown in the share card. If empty, OpenMyLink uses the destination page's own title.
Meta Description — the snippet under the title.

This is the easiest way to make a generic short link feel native to your brand when teammates or partners forward it.

Advanced Targeting

Sends visitors to a different URL when all three conditions match — Country and Device and Language. Add as many rules as you need with the blue + Add button.

Example: "If visitor is from United States AND on Windows AND prefers English, send to example.com/us-windows." If any condition doesn't match, the rule is skipped and OpenMyLink falls through to the next rule or to the default destination.

Geo Targeting

Country (and state) only. If you have a separate landing page per country, this routes users to it from a single short URL. Choose All states or pick a specific state for finer rules within the US, Canada, etc. Add multiple country rules with + Add.

Deep Linking

A simple toggle. When ON, mobile visitors are redirected straight into the destination's native app (Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, Airbnb, AliExpress, Yelp, GrubHub, Wolt, etc.). If the app isn't installed, the user falls back to the app store. Disable the toggle to keep behaviour as a normal web redirect.

Language Targeting

Route by the visitor's browser language (the Accept-Language header). If you have localised pages for English, Spanish, Portuguese, etc., one short link can serve them all.

Device Targeting

Route by device class — mobile, tablet, or desktop. Use this when your destination has a dedicated mobile site (or app landing) that's different from the desktop experience.

Targeting Pixels

Pick from your saved pixels (Meta, Google Ads, GTM, Google Analytics, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Pinterest) — they'll fire when the link is clicked, capturing the event for retargeting and conversion attribution. Pixels must be created first under Tracking Pixels in the sidebar; see Set up tracking pixels.

Expiration

Two independent limits:

Link Expiration — a calendar date after which the link stops working.
Click Limit — a number; once reached, the link stops working.

The Expiration Redirect URL is what visitors see after the link expires — typically a "promotion ended" or "campaign closed" page. Leave blank to show a default expired-link page.

A/B Testing & Rotator

Add one or more alternative URLs with optional percentage weights. OpenMyLink splits incoming traffic across them. If you leave the percentages empty, traffic is distributed equally; if you set them, they must sum to 100. The default destination (the URL at the top of the form) is included in the rotation.

Use this for A/B testing two landing pages, rotating affiliate offers, or load-balancing between mirrors. Note: targeting rules above (Geo, Device, Language, Advanced) take precedence — the rotator only kicks in when no targeting rule matches.

Parameter Builder

Add UTM (or any custom) parameters that are appended to the destination URL on every click. Each row is a name/value pair. Example: utm_source=newsletter, utm_campaign=spring-2026. Helpful for keeping your reporting tidy in Google Analytics, GA4, Mixpanel, Amplitude, etc.

For frequently-reused parameter sets, save them as templates under Parameter Templates in the sidebar.
