Smart Links, QR Codes & Analytics
Smart Links, QR Codes & Analytics
ShortIQ is a link management platform designed for SaaS teams and agencies that require structured short links, UTM context, QR code workflows, and click analytics in a single system. It allows users to create clean URLs with custom slugs and campaign fields, then distribute them across paid, email, social, partner, and offline assets. The platform includes analytics for country, device, browser, referrer, and trend signals, which can be reviewed during weekly optimization without rebuilding reports. Users can create temporary links without signing up, and claiming a link preserves its URL and full statistics. ShortIQ is intended for teams that need consistent campaign data and repeatable reporting, rather than for one-off link shortening tasks. Typical workflows involve building a destination URL, adding campaign fields, selecting a readable short slug, distributing the link or QR code, and then tracking performance by source, location, device, browser, and referrer. The platform supports consistent naming, client handoffs, and performance review across campaigns, making it suitable for agencies and internal marketing teams that manage multiple initiatives. It also functions as a shared operating layer for marketers to standardize UTM usage and explain campaign results without spreadsheet cleanup. ShortIQ includes a developer platform with an API for generating measurable short URLs from CRMs, SaaS products, marketing platforms, or internal workflows. API keys are managed from the dashboard, with the secret key shown once and stored as a secure hash. The API supports custom aliases and country-specific destination rules, and it returns standard errors for invalid keys, plan restrictions, duplicate aliases, validation failures, and rate or quota limits. Webhooks use HMAC-SHA256 signatures, unique event IDs for deduplication, five-minute replay protection, HTTPS public endpoints, an automatic retry schedule, and delivery history with manual retry options. The plan includes 30 short links per month, 5 links per hour, 10 links per day, 1 API key, 1 webhook endpoint, and click analytics.
