Enhanced Sharing Options for Tracking Links on External Links Page


Info

Overview

A significant enhancement has been introduced to the External Links page for Tracking Links, providing more robust and granular sharing options. This update empowers users to control access and collaboration more effectively, improving visibility, collaboration, and data governance across the platform.


Notes
Previous Limitation

Previously, tracking links could only be shared with:

  • Public Company

  • Public Organization

This limited the flexibility of audience targeting and access management.


Notes
New Sharing Capabilities

A new “Sharing” tab is now available when configuring a tracking link. This allows users to share links with a broader range of entities, including:

  • Individual Users

  • User Groups

  • Organizations

  • Organization Groups

  • Companies

This enhancement enables more targeted and secure distribution of trackable links.


Notes
Permission Levels

When sharing a tracking link, administrators can now assign specific permission levels:

Permission Type

Description

View

Grants recipients the ability to view the link only.

Edit

Allows recipients to modify tracking link settings.

Delete

Permits deletion of the shared link.

Owner

Full control including edit, delete, and the ability to re-share the link.

These permission levels ensure proper governance and accountability when multiple users or teams manage shared content.



Idea
Use Case Examples

  • Marketing Teams can now share campaign-specific links with user groups or company divisions, limiting access based on role.

  • Partner Managers can share performance-tracking links with specific partner organizations while retaining edit rights.

  • Admins can delegate access and control without compromising the integrity of the shared assets.

Notes
Conclusion
This update dramatically improves the flexibility and security of managing tracking links. By enabling detailed permission controls and sharing with various user entities, teams can collaborate more efficiently while maintaining full oversight of link usage and settings.
