Getting started
3Sign up, shorten your first link, invite your team.
Create your Elido account
Sign up for Elido in under a minute and verify your email so you can start shortening links.
Shorten your first link
Create a short link in the Elido dashboard, customise the slug, and copy it to your clipboard.
Invite your team
Add members to your workspace, pick the right role, and (optionally) wire up SCIM for auto-provisioning.
Links & redirects
9Slugs, custom domains, expiry, password protection, A/B.
A/B variants on a short link
Send one short URL to two or more destinations split by weight, and measure which destination converts better — without leaving the link list.
Bio pages (link-in-bio)
Build a mobile-first landing page that hosts every link you want to share from one short URL — useful for creators, podcasts, and physical-print campaigns.
Bulk import links from a CSV
Format a CSV, import up to 50,000 links in one run, and fix errors the importer flags before anything is written.
Customise your slug
Pick a memorable slug, keep it short for QR codes, and avoid the case-sensitivity gotchas.
Mobile app deep links
Open your own iOS or Android app from an Elido short link when installed, and fall back to the App Store or Play Store otherwise.
Set link expiry and password protection
Make a link self-destruct on a date, after a click count, or behind a password.
QR codes
Generate, customise, and download a QR code for any short link — including colour, logo, and vector formats for print.
Smart link rules (geo, device, time, language)
Send the same short URL to different destinations based on the visitor's country, device, time of day, or browser language.
UTM parameters and campaign tracking
Add UTM tags to links individually or via the campaign builder, and see attribution flow end-to-end in GA4.
Analytics
3Click events, geo, devices, conversions, exports.
Understanding click events
What we record on each click, what we don't, and how the data flows through our analytics pipeline.
Conversion tracking
How Elido records conversions from Stripe and Shopify webhooks and attributes them to short links.
Export your analytics data
Download click events as CSV, schedule recurring exports, or stream into ClickHouse from your own pipeline.
Custom domains
3DNS setup, SSL, on-demand TLS, troubleshooting verification.
Add a custom domain
Bring your own domain (e.g. links.acme.com) to Elido and have TLS provisioned automatically.
DNS verification troubleshooting
What to do when a custom domain stays stuck on Pending — a checklist for the most common DNS misconfigurations.
Troubleshoot TLS errors on a custom domain
Why TLS certificate issuance failed and the three fixes that resolve 95% of cases.

API keys and SDK quickstart
Issue your first Elido API key, set the right scopes, and shorten a link from the command line.
API rate limits
Per-key limits by plan, the response headers you should read, and how to handle 429s gracefully in your client code.
Rotate or revoke an API key
Roll a new key, retire the old one, and clean up after a leak — without breaking live integrations.
API key roles and permissions
The three key roles (viewer, editor, admin), which one fits common use cases, and what to do when you hit a 403.
