The Link Importer add-on does one job: it creates many tracking links at once from a spreadsheet, so you do not have to fill in the Create Link form over and over.
Where To Find It:
Click 🔗 Links, then 📥 Import CSV.
What The File Needs:
The 📋 CSV Format Guide on the screen shows the three columns:
- Link Title: optional. A friendly name for the link. It becomes the link's name and its Feed Title.
- Slug: required. The path after your domain, for example summer-replay.
- URL: required. The destination address, for example https://yoursite.com/webinar-replay/.
Column order does not matter, because you match your columns to these fields before importing.
Importing Step By Step:
- Click 📄 Download CSV Template if you want a starter file.
- Fill in one row per link, with a single header row at the top.
- Choose your file under CSV File.
- Click 📋 Preview & Map Columns.
- In 🔗 Map Your Columns, choose which of your columns is Link Title (optional), Slug and Destination URL. The step tells you how many columns and rows it found.
- Check the 👁️ Data Preview (first 5 rows). This is where you spot a header row being read as data or a column matched one place to the left.
- Click the import button, for example 📥 Import 6 Links, or ← Back to choose another file.
Duplicate Slugs Are Handled For You:
If a slug in your file already exists on your site, the importer does not touch the existing link. It adds a number to make the new slug unique, so an incoming starter-guide becomes starter-guide-2. Nothing you already have is lost.
Preparing A Clean File:
- Save as plain CSV, not as an Excel workbook.
- Keep slugs simple: lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.
- Make sure every destination starts with https://.
- Avoid curly quotes pasted from a word processor.
- Import a five row test file first, check the links redirect, then import the full list.
A Real Example:
yoursite.com prepares six links for a partner week: a webinar replay, a course bonus page, a podcast episode, a swipe sampler, a partner webinar and a starter guide link. One slug, starter-guide, already exists. After the import, five links appear with their own slugs and the sixth is created as starter-guide-2, while the original Free Starter Guide link keeps its clicks and settings.
After Importing:
Imported links behave exactly like links made by hand. File them into folders, add a Feed Description or image for the public feed, set a cost per click with Pro Tools, and use Sub-IDs on them straight away.
A Sample File:
Link Title,Slug,URL Summer Webinar Replay,summer-replay,https://yoursite.com/webinar-replay/ Inbox Course Bonus Page,course-bonus,https://yoursite.com/inbox-growth-course/bonus/ Podcast Episode 13,ep13,https://yoursite.com/podcast/episode-13/ Save it as plain CSV, then import it as described above.
Tips:
- Because the Link Title also becomes the Feed Title, imported links can appear in your public feed. Tick Do NOT show in Public Feed on any that should stay private. See Public Link Feed And Shortcode.
- See Organizing Links With Folders to group the new links.
