Overview
Use the Links page to build, manage, and deploy links at scale through a dedicated interface in Branch. It also provides enhanced governance and data reporting on your Branch links. Additionally, you get capabilities like template creation, export access, search, and filters.
Manager
The Links page allows you to easily organize and view all of your Branch Short Links and ad links in one place.
Here you'll be able to search, filter, export, and bulk publish Branch links.
Create links
For full guides on creating Branch links, read the following articles:
Search and filters
You can find the links you need using the search bar to search by title or URL.
You can also apply the following filters to make find and organize links:
Filter | Description |
|---|---|
Archived | Filter for only archived or deleted Branch Links. |
Unique | Filter for showing analytics unique to a user. For example, if 1 user clicks 100 times, it will count as 1. There is no concept of "unique revenue"; "revenue" is always the sum of all purchase events. |
Link Analytics Window | Filter to only show Branch Links with attribution in a specific window. |
Link Created Window | Filter to only show Branch Links created within a specific window. |
Campaign | Filter for specific campaign names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link. |
Feature | Filter for specific feature names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link. |
Channel | Filter for specific channel names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link. |
Tags | Filter for specific tags. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link. |
Bulk link tools
When you click the Create Bulk Links button, you will be prompted to select a Link Template or upload a CSV to create bulk links. Once you select, you can begin creating standardized links in bulk, and once you're done, you can copy and/or export all links.
You can:
Add and edit links in bulk.
Upload a CSV for bulk link creation.
Export a CSV of both link attributes and links.
Archive links.
Delete links.
Analytics
View your Branch Link performance through a report similar to Branch's Events/Performance Table on the Links page. It has the same column customizability and sorting for your measurement but specific to your Ad Links and Short Links.
Note
The Activation product only includes the Clicks metric.
Individual link stats
You can access detailed statistics for your individual Branch links on the Links page.
Select the three-dot icon in the row of the link you are interested in, then click on the Analysis option from the drop-down menu that opens. This will take you to a page where the link id has already been set for you for that particular link. You will also see a click flow count, broken out by operating system.
Templates
Link Templates are a way to apply specific standardizations to Branch Links you create on the Dashboard. Read our Link Templates article for more information.
