Linkkit integrates your WordPress site with Linkkit, a link management platform for branded short links, QR codes, and analytics.

Features:

  • Automatically creates a short link when a post or page is published
  • Updates the short link destination when a post’s permalink changes
  • Edit the short link slug directly from the WordPress post editor
  • Copy short links to clipboard with one click
  • Works with any public post type (posts, pages, custom post types)
  • Secure OAuth 2.0 connection — no API keys to copy/paste

How it works:

  1. Install the plugin and go to the Linkkit menu in your admin sidebar
  2. Click “Connect to Linkkit” and authorize your workspace
  3. Publish a post — a short link is automatically created
  4. View and edit your short link in the post editor sidebar

Third-Party Service

This plugin connects to the Linkkit external service to create and manage shortened URLs.

What data is sent and when:

  • OAuth connection — When you click “Connect to Linkkit” in the plugin settings, you are redirected to app.uselinkkit.com to authorize the plugin. An authorization code is then exchanged for an access token via api.uselinkkit.com/oauth/token.
  • Creating short links — When a post or page is published, the post’s permalink and title are sent to api.uselinkkit.com/v1/links to create a short link.
  • Updating short links — When a published post’s permalink changes or the short link slug is edited, the updated data is sent to api.uselinkkit.com/v1/links/{short_code}.
  • Connection test — After connecting, a request is made to api.uselinkkit.com/v1/auth/test to verify the connection and retrieve the workspace name.
