Links Page (New)

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.

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 find and organize links:

FilterDescription
ArchivedFilter for only archived or deleted Branch Links.
UniqueFilter 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 WindowFilter to only show Branch Links with attribution in a specific window.
Link Created WindowFilter to only show Branch Links created within a specific window.
CampaignFilter for specific campaign names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link.
FeatureFilter for specific feature names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link.
ChannelFilter for specific channel names. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link.
TagsFilter for specific tags. Dropdown options are set when you create the Branch Link.

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.

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 in Branch. Read our Link Templates article for more information.

Folders ​

You can use folders to organize links and enforce template requirements.

Note

What’s the difference between folders and templates?

They serve two different purposes. Folders are for organization: a way to group links so you can see them in one place. Templates are for governance: they apply standardizations so links follow a defined structure.

Do I have to attach a template to a folder?

No. A template is optional when you create a folder. You can use a folder purely to group links. If you do associate a template, all links in that folder must adhere to that template.

Can I apply more than one template to a folder?

No. A folder can have a single template associated with it. Learn more on the Links page.

How do I customize the look of a QR code?

In the Customize section, you can edit the Finder Style, Code Pattern, Colors, and Center Logo. When you’re done, you can download the QR code as a PNG, JPEG, or SVG. For more, see our link creation guides.
