They ask their agent to check the analytics for that specific campaign URL, using `get_link_analytics`, so they can adjust ad spend immediately. ### Setting up links for a new product launch A marketing team launches a new service and needs multiple branded links. They ask their agent to shorten the core landing page URL using `shorten_link` across several different campaigns, ensuring consistency. ### Auditing old or unused campaign links A growth team wants to audit all links before a system migration. They ask their agent to list all managed links (`list_links`) and then delete the outdated ones using `delete_link`. ### Changing the destination for an old link The landing page for a product line moved, but the old short link still gets traffic. The user tells their agent to update the existing link's target URL using `update_link`. ## Benefits - Create new, branded short links instantly using `shorten_link` without leaving your current writing environment. - Stop guessing where traffic comes from. Use `get_link_analytics` to pull real-time performance metrics for any link you own. - Maintain total visibility over your infrastructure by listing all custom domains with `list_domains` and checking domain details with `get_domain`. - Keep your campaigns organized by listing tags using `list_tags`, ensuring every link has a clear purpose. - When a destination URL changes, you can use `update_link` to redirect traffic instantly, keeping your campaign running smoothly. ## How It Works The bottom line is, you talk to your agent like talking to an employee who already has access to your link dashboard. 1.
