Changelog

Team owners and admins can now restrict folder access to specific team members. When a folder is restricted, only permitted members can see the folder and its links on the dashboard.

How it works

By default, all folders are accessible to every team member. You can restrict access to specific members using the new folder settings:

1. Open folder settings — Click the gear icon on any folder card (visible to owners/admins only)
2. Choose access level — Select "All members" for full team access, or "Restricted" to limit access
3. Select members — When restricted, choose which team members can view the folder
4. Save — Changes take effect immediately

What gets restricted

When you restrict a folder:

• Folder visibility — Only permitted members see the folder in the folders list
• Link visibility — Links inside the folder are hidden from the dashboard for non-permitted members
• Direct access blocked — Non-permitted members cannot view, edit, or delete links in restricted folders

Who can manage permissions

Only team owners and admins can configure folder permissions. They also always have access to all folders, regardless of restrictions.

Visual indicators

Owners and admins will see a "Restricted" badge on folders that have access limitations. This helps quickly identify which folders have custom permissions configured.

Unfoldered links

Links that aren't in any folder remain visible to all team members. Only links inside restricted folders are hidden from non-permitted members.

Who can use this?

Folder permissions are available to all team workspaces. If you're using a personal workspace, you won't see the folder settings option since there are no team members to restrict.

Configure folder access from the folders page at /dashboard/folders.

Team workspaces are here. Ultra plan users can now create teams, invite members, and manage shared links, folders, and domains—all in one place.

What are team workspaces?

A team workspace is a separate environment where multiple users can collaborate on the same set of links, folders, QR codes, and custom domains. Each team gets its own subdomain (e.g., your-team.ishortn.ink) and operates independently from your personal workspace.

Creating a team

If you're on the Ultra plan, you can create a team from the workspace switcher in the sidebar:

1. Open the workspace switcher — Click your workspace name in the sidebar
2. Click "Create Team" — Enter a name and slug for your team
3. Start inviting members — Add your colleagues via email

Your team workspace is ready to use immediately after creation.

Switching between workspaces

The workspace switcher in the sidebar lets you move between your personal workspace and any teams you belong to. Each workspace has its own:

• Links and short URLs
• Folders for organization
• QR codes
• Custom domains
• UTM templates
• Tags

Resources in one workspace are completely separate from another.

Team roles and permissions

Every team member has a role that determines what they can do:

• Owner — Full control over the team, including billing, settings, and member management
• Admin — Can manage members and invites, and access all team resources
• Member — Can create and manage links, folders, and QR codes

Inviting team members

Team owners and admins can invite new members:

1. Go to team settings — Navigate to your team's members page
2. Send an invite — Enter the email address and select a role
3. They accept — The invitee receives an email with a link to join

Invites expire after 7 days. You can resend or revoke pending invites at any time.

Who can use this?

Team workspaces are available exclusively to Ultra plan subscribers. If you're on a Free or Pro plan, upgrade to Ultra to unlock team collaboration.

Manage your team at /dashboard/teams/settings once you've created one.

We're excited to introduce UTM parameter support, making it easier than ever to track the performance of your marketing campaigns directly within iShortn.

What are UTM parameters?

UTM parameters are tags you add to URLs to track where your traffic comes from. When someone clicks a link with UTM parameters, those tags are sent to your analytics platform, helping you understand which campaigns, sources, and content drive the most engagement.

Adding UTM parameters to links

You can now add UTM parameters directly when creating or editing any link:

• utm_source — Identify where your traffic comes from (e.g., google, newsletter, twitter)
• utm_medium — Track the marketing medium (e.g., cpc, email, social)
• utm_campaign — Name your campaign for easy identification (e.g., spring_sale, product_launch)
• utm_term — Track paid search keywords
• utm_content — Differentiate between similar content or links in the same ad

When you shorten a link with UTM parameters, they're automatically appended to your destination URL when visitors click through.

How to use it

1. Create or edit a link — Go to your dashboard and create a new link or edit an existing one
2. Expand UTM Parameters — Click the "UTM Parameters" section to reveal the fields
3. Fill in your parameters — Add the relevant UTM values for your campaign
4. Save — Your link is now ready to track campaign performance

Why this matters

With UTM parameters built directly into iShortn, you no longer need to manually construct tracking URLs or use separate UTM builders. Everything is integrated into your link management workflow, making campaign tracking seamless and error-free.

Combined with our existing analytics, you'll have a complete picture of how your shortened links perform across different marketing channels.

UTM Templates

We've also added UTM Templates to supercharge your workflow:

• Save time — Create reusable templates for campaigns you run regularly
• Stay consistent — Ensure your team uses the same UTM conventions across all links
• Quick apply — Select a template when creating links to instantly fill in all UTM fields

Manage your templates at /dashboard/utm-templates. Create templates for your most common campaigns like email newsletters, social media posts, or paid advertising, and apply them with a single click.

We've added a dedicated changelog page to keep you informed about what's new in iShortn.
