for campaign marketers
Shorten campaign URLs inside TimeToPost and track every click in Link Analytics. Create a tracked short link, drop it into a post draft, approve in the single queue, and publish to Instagram, TikTok, or X at each account best time.
feature overview
TimeToPost includes a tracked short links capability in the Get Found suite, so you can create campaign links without a separate tool. Short links live with your content, and you can reuse them across post drafts and AutoSEO assets.
Drafts that contain short links remain in the single approval queue until a human approves. After approval, posts publish to Instagram, TikTok, and X at the account best time defined by the platform.
step-by-step
Generate a tracked short link, attach it to your post draft, approve the draft, then publish to your chosen platform. Link Analytics captures clicks so you can see performance quickly.
Follow these seven practical steps to get actionable data by date, device, and country. The process keeps tracking inside TimeToPost so campaign links and content stay in the same system.
what you get
Link Analytics in the Get Found suite gives you click counts and simple segmentation, so you can compare dates, device types, and countries without moving data between tools. The short link stays with the content, which reduces errors when teams reuse URLs.
TimeToPost also connects link performance to other platform signals, like rank tracking and backlink data. That makes it easier to pair paid or organic efforts with on-post performance.
compare options
Use TimeToPost short links when you want link management inside your content and approval workflow. The short links integrate with post drafts, the single approval queue, and Link Analytics, so campaigns stay centralized.
External shortener services may offer advanced features like custom domains, deep redirect rules, or large-scale deliverability tooling. If those features are essential, use the external tool and paste the final URL into your TimeToPost draft. TimeToPost still tracks clicks if the final redirect preserves tracking parameters.
go-live checklist
Confirm link naming, add UTM parameters, and verify the short link resolves correctly. Test a draft publish in a non-production account if you need to confirm redirects and tracking before the campaign starts.
Remember that drafts with short links remain in the single approval queue. If your team uses approvals, confirm who has final publishing authority. All core platform features operate under the single, low plan.
