The Short.io Temporary URL feature allows users to be redirected to a new destination URL once the old one expires, all without altering the short link. You can specify a long link including a time limit or a click count for when the URL should refresh. When the original link becomes outdated, visitors will automatically be directed to the new URL. If you do not set an expiration URL, customers will encounter an error page that says, “The short URL you clicked was expired".
Note: Link expiration starts from the Pro plan.
