Use Pro advanced options such as scheduling, expiry dates, and custom deactivated URLs.

Using Advanced Link Options in Pro

Advanced Link Options are available in GoshLinks Pro. They let you schedule links, expire links, and choose where inactive links should send visitors.

Where To Find Advanced Options

Create or edit a link, then open the Advanced Options accordion.

In the free plugin, this area shows an upgrade message. In Pro, it shows the advanced fields.


Advanced Fields

  • Start Date - The date the link becomes active.
  • Expiry Date - The date the link expires.
  • Expiry Action - What happens when the link expires.
  • Deactivated URL - An optional per-link inactive destination.

Start Date

If the Start Date is in the future, the link is scheduled. Before the Start Date, visitors are sent to the deactivated destination instead of the Target URL.

Expiry Date

The Expiry Date controls when the link should stop working as normal. A link expires at the end of the selected date.

Expiry Action

  • Deactivate Link - Keeps the link in your list but stops sending visitors to the Target URL.
  • Delete Link - Permanently removes the link when it expires.

Deactivated URL

The Deactivated URL is optional. If entered, inactive, not-yet-active, or expired-deactivated visitors are sent there instead of the global Default Deactivated Redirect Page.

The Deactivated URL must be a valid http or https URL.

Editing Advanced Links

When editing a link that already has advanced values, the Advanced Options accordion opens automatically.
