What QLink is
QLink creates short campaign links with UTM tags in bulk and sends click statistics to Google Sheets. Users can choose readable custom back-halves and build tagged URLs with source, medium, and campaign fields, plus optional term, content, and custom parameters. Analytics include date, country, and device details and can be exported to Sheets. Its public API uses bearer-token authentication for creating links, bulk creation, listing links, retrieving click statistics, and checking quotas. QLink also offers a Google Sheets add-on, Chrome extension, and Slack bot. The extension is intended for single-link creation, while bulk links and campaign reporting use the Sheets add-on. QLink provides API, extension, and web access but no custom domains. The Free plan costs $0.00 per free and includes 50 total links, unlimited clicks, custom back-halves, and seven-day analytics retention. Paid plans start at $9.00 per month: Starter allows 500 links monthly with 30-day retention, Pro allows 2,000 with 90-day retention, and Business lists 10,000 with 180-day retention and billing marked Coming soon. Paid quotas block new links until the next monthly reset when exceeded.
