URL Lifecycle

A URL in Joonz goes through several stages throughout its lifetime. Understanding these stages helps you better manage your shortened URLs.

1. Creation

When you create a URL, you can:

• Use a custom code or let the system generate one
• Set password protection
• Configure redirection rules
• Add QR codes
• Set expiration dates
• Attach to campaigns

2. Active Stage

Once created, your URL enters its active stage where:

• It's ready to receive and redirect visitors
• Analytics data is collected
• Smart routing rules are applied
• All protection features are enforced

3. Updates & Maintenance

You can modify your URL at any time to:

• Change the destination URL
• Update protection settings
• Modify redirection rules
• Adjust campaign settings

4. Expiration

A URL can become inactive when:

• It reaches its set expiration date
• You manually deactivate it
• It's deleted from the system

Note

• Expired URLs return a "not found" error
• Deactivated URLs can be reactivated at any time
• Analytics data is preserved even after URL expiration
