Question 1

What makes filxo Links analytics different?

Accepted Answer

filxo separates real human opens from bots, link previews (Slack, WhatsApp, iMessage), search crawlers, and AI agents. Your headline view count focuses on likely real people — not every automated fetch.

Question 2

I run a newsletter. How does filxo help?

Accepted Answer

Wrap every link individually or add channel labels (newsletter, social, thread). Each label gets its own tracked link so you can compare which channel actually drove engaged readers. Export your data anytime.

Question 3

Can I import existing link analytics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In Playground, use Import external data and upload a CSV export from your previous shortener. filxo maps common columns and lets you compare that history alongside new filxo links.

Question 4

What does wrapping a link actually do?

Accepted Answer

You give us any URL, we give you back a filxo URL. When someone clicks your filxo URL, we record the open and send them to your original destination. They reach the page; you get the analytics.

Question 5

How do channel labels work?

Accepted Answer

Add labels like LinkedIn or Newsletter during link creation. Each label gives you a unique tracked link with its own analytics. Post each labeled link to the matching channel and compare what worked.

Question 6

Do Slack or WhatsApp previews count as clicks?

Accepted Answer

No — not in your headline view total. filxo classifies those as link previews and shows them separately in your traffic breakdown so you can see unfurls vs real human opens.

Question 7

Is analytics free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Click tracking, bot filtering, country and device breakdown, and labeled links are free. Paid plans add optional subdomain, larger files, and more storage.
