Bulk URL Shortening: How to Create Hundreds of Links at Once

When You Need Bulk URL Shortening

Marketing at scale means managing hundreds — sometimes thousands — of links. Whether you're launching a multi-channel campaign, managing influencer partnerships, or creating personalized links for events, doing it one link at a time is not practical.

Bulk URL shortening lets you create large batches of short links in a single operation, complete with UTM parameters, custom back-halves, and organized tags.

Common Bulk Link Use Cases

Multi-Channel Campaigns

Launching a product across 10 channels with 5 content variations? That's 50 unique tracked links. Bulk creation handles this in minutes instead of hours.

Influencer and Affiliate Programs

Each influencer or affiliate partner needs their own tracked link. With bulk creation, you can generate personalized links for hundreds of partners from a single CSV file.

Event Marketing

Conferences, webinars, and trade shows require links for:

• •Registration pages (different sources per channel)
• •Speaker profiles
• •Session recordings
• •Sponsor pages

Bulk link creation ensures every link is properly tagged and tracked.

E-commerce Product Links

Online retailers managing large catalogs need shortened links for:

• •Social media product features
• •Email product spotlights
• •Print catalogs with QR codes
• •Affiliate partner assets

Regional Campaigns

Global campaigns need unique links per region or language, each with appropriate UTM parameters for geographic tracking.

Tips for Efficient Bulk Link Management

Use Templates for Consistency

Create link templates in URLINK with pre-filled UTM parameters. When bulk creating, apply a template to automatically populate source, medium, and campaign values.

Organize with Tags and Folders

Tag bulk-created links by campaign, channel, or date. This makes it easy to find and analyze specific link groups later.

Validate Before Creating

Common CSV mistakes include:

• •Missing https:// protocol
• •Extra spaces in URLs
• •Inconsistent UTM naming (mixing Facebook and facebook)
• •Broken or redirecting destination URLs

Take a moment to validate your CSV before uploading.

Leverage Organized Parameter Lists
