Introducing Smart URLs

Tim Leland

Smart URLs redirect users to different destinations based on their device, location, or browser. After entering a default URL, users are able to specify to which device or browser-specific URLs they want to direct their traffic. This allows you to share one URL to target multiple destinations.

A great use for Smart URLs is to target multiple app install URLs such as iOS or Google Play depending on the device. Here is an example that will redirect users based on their device to the Link Shortener extension install page depending on their browser. Give it a try: https://t.ly/extension

What Smart URLs are good for

Smart URLs are useful any time one shared link needs to behave differently for different visitors. That could mean sending iPhone users to the App Store, Android users to Google Play, or directing visitors to browser-specific destinations.
