Overview #

When creators tell their followers "Link in bio to buy!" or share specific short URLs in captions and reels, visitors can paste or click the link into the Smart Input bar on your bio page. The Smart Redirect engine instantly resolves the link and forwards the user directly to the exact product or page.

What You Can Do #

  • Enable or disable the interactive Smart Input bar on your public bio page.
  • Create keyword or URL match rules (Exact Match or Contains Match).
  • Route matches to multiple destination types: external URLs, specific product items, or bio blocks.
  • Test routing rules in real time using the built-in test runner.
  • Track total hits and traffic redirection count per rule.
  • Customize the input placeholder, title, and button text displayed to visitors.
