Ctiny allows you to set expiration rules for your links, either based on number of clicks or time duration. Once a link expires, users attempting to access it will be redirected to a page indicating that the link has expired. You can enable or disable this feature at any time.
Step 1: Access Link Configuration
- Navigate to your Ctiny dashboard and locate the link you wish to configure.
- Click the Edit button to open the detailed configuration page.

Step 2: Open Link Expiration Settings
- Expand the Expire Link section by clicking on the relevant modal.
- Enable link expiration by selecting the checkbox.

Step 3: Set Expiration Criteria
Expire Link Based on Clicks:
- In the By Visits (Number of Clicks) field, specify the maximum number of clicks allowed for the link.
- Once the click limit is reached, the link will expire.
- Click Update to save the changes.

Expire Link Based on Time:
- Use the By Time field to set a duration for the link's validity.
- Select the desired unit (e.g., minutes or days) from the Duration dropdown menu.
- After the specified duration, the link will expire.
- Click Update to save the changes.

What Happens When a Link Expires?
When a link expires, users will be redirected to a default page notifying them that the link is no longer active.

This feature is especially useful for managing time-sensitive campaigns or controlling access to content.
