Creating links

Create a link

1. Click New Link
2. Choose your domain - fnl.sh (default) or any custom domain you’ve added
3. Paste the target URL
4. Optionally set a custom slug (leave blank for auto-generated)
5. Optionally add tags (comma-separated) and a note
6. Click Create

Note

Custom slugs are only available on custom domains. The default domain (fnl.sh) always uses auto-generated slugs to avoid namespace collisions. To use a custom slug like demo, first add a custom domain (e.g. go.yourco.com).

Example: domain go.yourco.com, slug demo -> go.yourco.com/demo

Choosing good slugs

Use short, descriptive slugs that clearly reflect the destination. Due to the high volume of bot traffic on the internet, security systems may present a challenge page to visitors if a slug resembles a commonly targeted path. Stick to meaningful, human-readable slugs and you won’t run into issues.

Caution

Always test your custom links before sharing them. Click the short URL yourself and verify visitors land on the target without any interruption. If a link is triggering a security challenge, let us know and we’ll sort it out.

Bulk create via API

Paste up to 100 links at once using the API:

curl -X POST https://nobsredir.com/api/workspaces/ws_abc123/links/bulk \
  -H "X-API-Key: nobs_your_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "links": [
      { "target": "https://yourco.com/page-1", "slug": "p1" },
      { "target": "https://yourco.com/page-2", "slug": "p2" }
    ]
  }'

Edit a link

Click the edit icon on any link row to open the edit modal. You can change:

• Target URL - where the link redirects to. Changes take effect instantly.
• Slug - the short path (e.g. demo). Only editable on custom domains.
• Title - display name in the dashboard
• Tags - comma-separated, up to 10 per link
• Note - internal annotation visible only to workspace members, never exposed to visitors
• Max clicks - expire the link after a specific number of clicks
• Password - require visitors to enter a password before being redirected

Changes are instant. No publish step.

Links that have a note show a note icon in the link row. Hover over it to preview the note text.

QR code

Click the QR code icon next to any link in the dashboard to generate a customizable QR code.

You can customize:

• Dot style - rounded, dots, classy, square, and more
• Corner style - square, rounded, or dot corners
• Colors - pick any foreground and background color
• Logo - upload an image to place in the center of the QR code
• Error correction - L, M, Q, or H (higher = more resilient to damage)
• Download size - 300px to 2000px

Download as PNG or SVG. QR codes are generated entirely in your browser - nothing is sent to the server.

Delete a link

Only users with Admin or Owner roles can delete links. Click the link, then hit Delete at the bottom of the edit panel.

Deleted links return a 404. This is permanent.
