Links
A link is a short redirect at /l/:code that sends visitors to a target URL of your choice, with click stats tracked automatically.
What a link is
Every link has a target URL and a code. Visiting itsjustbig.com/l/<code> redirects instantly to the target. Stats for total clicks, unique clicks, referrers, and devices are tracked per link — see Link stats.
Create a link
Create links from Manage → Links (requires editor role):
- Target URL — required. Must be an absolute
http://orhttps://URL. - Code — either auto-generated at random, or a custom alias you choose. A custom alias can use letters, numbers, and hyphens, up to 32 characters, and must be globally unique across all workspaces — big checks availability as you type.
- Display name — optional, up to 80 characters, shown to you in the dashboard.
- Attach to a form — optional. Ties the link to a form so its clicks are counted as part of that form's share flow.
What's not there yet
- No editing after creation. The alias, name, and target are all immutable once a link is created. To change any of them, delete the link and create a new one.
- Deleting is permanent. Deleting a link also permanently deletes its click history. A reused code does not inherit the old link's clicks.
- No caps. There's no plan-based limit on how many links you can create or how many clicks they can receive.
The redirect itself
Visiting /l/:code returns an instant redirect to the target URL — every hit is tracked. If the code doesn't match any link, the visitor is simply redirected to the big homepage; there's no error page shown.
