How to Customize Your Account Preferences

The account preferences menu in clipit.link allows you to set default options that streamline your workflow and ensure consistency across your shortened URLs. You can set a default domain, select a default space, and choose whether your link stats are public or private—all from one convenient location.

Accessing the Account Preferences Menu

Follow these steps to access and customize your account preferences:

Step 1: Log in to Your clipit.link Account

• Go to the clipit.link homepage and log in with your username and password.

Step 2: Access the Preferences Menu

1. Navigate to the Sidebar: Once logged in, look to the left sidebar of your dashboard.
2. Click on Your Avatar and Account Name: At the bottom of the sidebar, you’ll see your avatar and account name. Click on it to open your account settings.
3. Select “Preferences”: On the new page that loads, click on the “Preferences” menu option.

Setting a Default Domain for URL Shortening

If you frequently use a specific domain for your shortened URLs, setting it as the default domain saves you time by automatically applying it to every new link you create.

1. Locate the Default Domain Setting:
   • In the Preferences menu, find the section labeled “Default Domain.”
2. Select Your Preferred Domain:
   • From the dropdown menu, choose the domain you want to use as the default for all new URLs. If you’ve added custom domains to your account, they will appear in this list.
3. Save Your Changes:
   • After selecting your default domain, click “Save Changes” to apply the setting.

Setting a Default Space

Spaces help you organize your links, and setting a default space ensures that all new URLs are automatically categorized.

1. Locate the Default Space Setting:
   • In the Preferences menu, find the section labeled “Default Space.”
2. Choose Your Default Space:
   • From the dropdown menu, select the space where you want all new URLs to be placed by default. This is particularly useful if you’re managing multiple projects or campaigns.
3. Save Your Changes:
   • Click “Save Changes” to set the default space.

Deciding the Default Stats Visibility (Public or Private)

You can control whether the analytics for your shortened URLs are publicly accessible or private. By setting a default visibility option, you ensure consistency across all your links.

1. Locate the Stats Visibility Setting:
   • In the Preferences menu, find the section labeled “Default Stats Visibility.”
2. Select Your Preferred Visibility Option:
   • Choose between “Public,” “Private,” or “Password Protected” to determine how your stats are displayed by default.
   • Public: Anyone with the link can view the stats.
   • Private: Only you can view the stats.
3. Save Your Changes:
   • Once you’ve made your selection, click “Save Changes” to apply your preferred visibility setting.

Why Customize Your Account Preferences?

Customizing your account preferences helps you streamline your workflow by reducing the number of manual adjustments needed for each new URL you create. It also ensures that your links are consistently branded, organized, and secure according to your needs.

By setting these preferences, you can focus more on your marketing efforts and less on administrative tasks, knowing that your URLs will always be created with your preferred settings.
