Short links

Short links your partners are proud to share.

Branded on your domain, tracked in real time, with QR codes, UTM auto-append and expiry rules. Bit.ly looked good in 2014 — this is 2026.

Ugly short links kill click-through.

When your partner drops a "bit.ly/xYz123" in Twitter, LinkedIn or Slack, it screams spam. Branded short links look native to your domain, build trust, and measurably improve CTR by 20–40%.

Without Traaaction
  • Generic bit.ly / tinyurl — look like spam
  • No click analytics or only superficial ones
  • No way to expire or password-protect
  • Link domain = tool name, not your brand
With Traaaction
  • go.yourbrand.com — your domain, your trust
  • Full click analytics per link
  • Expiry dates, password protection, QR codes
  • Bulk creation via dashboard or API

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my main domain for short links?+

It’s better to use a subdomain (go., join., link.) so the short-link routing doesn’t interfere with your primary site. CNAME setup is 5 minutes.

How long can a slug be?+

Any length from 4 to 64 characters, alphanumeric plus dash and underscore. We recommend 6–20 for shareability.

What happens if a slug is already taken?+

The dashboard tells you live. You can either pick a different slug or force-overwrite (with a warning) if it was expired.

Do QR codes track differently?+

No. QR codes point to the short link, so the same click attribution and analytics apply.

Can I expire a link?+

Yes. By date, by click count, or manually. Expired links show a branded 410 page, configurable.

Can I bulk-create via CSV or API?+

Both. CSV upload in the dashboard for marketing teams. Full REST API for engineering teams.
