Can I set an expiration date for a short link?

Last updated on September 20, 2026

<p>
 When managing a short link with
 <a href="https://azaz.click/"><strong>Azaz</strong></a>,
 check the link's available settings to see whether an expiration option is
 available.
</p>

<h2>What is link expiration?</h2>

<p>
 Link expiration allows a short link to stop being available after a
 specified condition, such as a particular date or time, when that option is
 supported.
</p>

<p>
 This can be useful for links related to temporary campaigns, events,
 announcements, limited-time content, or other resources that should not
 remain available indefinitely.
</p>

<h2>Check your link settings</h2>

<ol>
 <li>
   <a href="https://azaz.click/user/login"><strong>Sign in to Azaz</strong></a>.
 </li>
 <li>
   Open your
   <a href="https://azaz.click/user"><strong>Azaz Dashboard</strong></a>.
 </li>
 <li>
   Go to
   <a href="https://azaz.click/user/links"><strong>My Links</strong></a>.
 </li>
 <li>Find the short link you want to manage.</li>
 <li>Open its available edit or management options.</li>
 <li>Look for an expiration or scheduling option.</li>
</ol>

<h2>Set an expiration date</h2>

<p>
 If an expiration setting is available, choose the date or other expiration
 condition you want and save the changes.
</p>

<p>
 Review the setting carefully before saving, especially if the short link is
 already being shared publicly.
</p>

<h2>What happens after a link expires?</h2>

<p>
 The behavior of an expired link depends on the options provided by Azaz.
 Visitors may no longer be redirected to the original destination after the
 expiration condition is reached.
</p>

<p>
 Test the link after its expiration if you need to confirm exactly what
 visitors will see.
</p>

<h2>Think about where the link is being used</h2>

<p>
 Before setting an expiration date, remember that the short URL may already
 appear in:
</p>

<ul>
 <li>Websites</li>
 <li>Social media posts</li>
 <li>Emails and messages</li>
 <li>QR codes</li>
 <li>Business cards</li>
 <li>Posters or signs</li>
 <li>Menus or printed materials</li>
</ul>

<p>
 Those copies can remain visible even after the short link itself has expired.
</p>

<h2>Expiration and QR codes</h2>

<p>
 A QR code containing an Azaz short URL does not automatically disappear when
 the short link expires.
</p>

<p>
 The QR code will continue to contain the same URL, but that URL may no longer
 redirect to its previous destination after the expiration condition is reached.
</p>

<p>
 You can create QR codes using
 <a href="https://azaz.click/qr-codes"><strong>Azaz QR Codes</strong></a>
 or access your
 <a href="https://azaz.click/user/qr"><strong>QR dashboard</strong></a>.
</p>

<h2>Can I change the expiration later?</h2>

<p>
 If Azaz allows the expiration setting to be edited, return to
 <a href="https://azaz.click/user/links"><strong>My Links</strong></a>,
 open the link's settings, and make the necessary change.
</p>

<p>
 The exact options available depend on the current link settings and features
 enabled on Azaz.
</p>

<h2>Test important links</h2>

<p>
 If a short link is being used for an important event, campaign, QR code, or
 printed material, test it before publishing and verify its expiration
 settings carefully.
</p>

<h2>Need help?</h2>

<p>
 If you cannot find an expiration option or are unsure how a setting works,

<p>
 Short links must comply with the
 <a href="https://azaz.click/en/page/terms-of-service"><strong>Azaz Terms of Service</strong></a>.
