Share links & click tracking
Short, trackable ardent.africa/s/ links for your campaigns, and the analytics behind them.
When you share a campaign or a blog post, Ardent automatically turns the long page URL into a
short, clean link like https://ardent.africa/s/aB3xK9. Short links are easier to paste into
WhatsApp, SMS, and social posts, and they let you see how your sharing is performing.
Sharing a campaign
- Open your campaign and tap Share (on the web or in the mobile app).
- Pick a channel: WhatsApp, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Telegram, email, SMS, or copy the link.
- Ardent creates a short link for that channel and shares it. You can also scan or download a QR code of the link for posters and print.
You don't have to do anything extra. The short link is created the moment you share.
Creating your own short link
In your dashboard sidebar, go to Share links to shorten any URL yourself:
- Paste the destination URL (for example, your campaign page).
- Optionally choose a custom code (e.g.
/s/flood-appeal) and a label to recognise it later. - Create the link and copy it anywhere.
Reading your analytics
Each link has an analytics view showing:
- Total clicks and unique visitors.
- Clicks over time for the last 90 days.
- A breakdown by channel (which platform drove the clicks), device, country, and referrer.
Automated link previews and crawlers (the little preview cards that appear when you paste a link) are detected and kept separate, so your visitor numbers reflect real people.
Privacy
We never store your visitors' raw IP addresses, only an anonymised value used to count unique visitors. Country and device information comes from standard request data and is used only to show you these aggregate insights.
