Create a Smart Link in Opener

In short

In Zetrr Opener, choose the Smart Links tab, paste your link into Destination URL and click Create Smart Link. Zetrr detects the app, makes a short zetrr.com/o/ link and gives you a QR code to share.

A Smart Link is a short link that tries to open your content in its own app, such as YouTube, Amazon or Spotify, when someone taps it on a phone.

  1. In your Zetrr dashboard, open Zetrr Opener and go to My Links.
  2. Make sure Smart Links is selected.
  3. Under New Smart Link, paste the address into Destination URL. It must start with http:// or https://.
  4. Zetrr fetches a preview and shows which app it found.
  5. Click Create Smart Link.

Share it#

The Smart link ready window shows your new link, which looks like zetrr.com/o/ followed by a short code. From here you can:

  • Copy link to paste it into your bio, stories, captions or BioLink page.
  • Download QR to save its QR code.
  • Test link to try it yourself.
  • View stats to see its clicks.

Each link in your list shows its app, clicks and the date you created it. The icons next to it let you:

  • Preview link: open it in a new tab.
  • Copy: copy the short link.
  • View analytics: see clicks for this link.
  • Advanced controls: add channels, a custom link or a social preview.
  • Show QR code: view and download its QR code.
  • Edit destination: send the link somewhere else. The short link stays the same.
  • Delete link: delete it for good. The short link stops working.

Give it a memorable name#

  1. Click Advanced controls next to the link.
  2. Under Custom link, type 3 to 40 letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores.
  3. Click Update link.

Your old link and any printed QR codes keep working and lead to the same place.

Control how it looks when shared#

In Advanced controls, under Social preview, set a Title, Description and Image URL, then click Save preview. This is what people see when you share the link on WhatsApp, X or iMessage.

To learn what happens when someone taps your link, see How Opener opens links in the right app. Plans are on pricing.

Questions

What if Opener does not find an app for my link?

Your link still works as a short link and takes visitors to the website.

Can I change where a Smart Link goes after sharing it?

Yes. Click Edit destination next to the link and enter the new address. The short link and its QR code stay the same.

Does a deleted Opener link keep working?

No. Deleting a link is permanent. Anyone who opens it afterwards, or scans its QR code, gets a page that is not found.
