Webhooks are designed to get notifications on clicks for existing short links, with the timestamp and all available visitor data.
Note: Webhook integration requires the Pro plan.
Follow the guide below to set up integration of Webhook.site and Short.io.
Webhook.site steps
Open https://webhook.site/.
Copy the unique webhook URL generated for you by the site:
Short.io configuration
Sign in to your Short.io account.
Navigate to the Domain settings menu and click on Tracking:
In the Webhook URL field paste the URL which you copied from the webhook site.
Click on Save changes to confirm.
To test your webhook
Browse or click on one of the links which you have shortened and which belongs to the above domain.
In the webhook.site you can review the request result including the following details:
Host - the IP address of the visitor
Date - the timestamp of the click
Referrer - the source of the click
Origin - the name of your short domain
User-agent - the browser fingerprint (serves as a valuable tool for determining whether clicks are generated by human users or automated bots)
Path - your short link slug
UTMs - the utm-tags that were appended to the short link (tags added during short link creation, or via UTM Builder on dashboard will not be displayed in webhook output data)
