Links turns a long address into a short one on stl.lat: it can be printed, read out on a call or sent a hundred thousand times, and every click through it is counted. It is charged per link minted, not per click, so nothing about the price asks you to share it less. It works on its own, and Workflow can mint one per case without anybody opening it.
The short link is the only thing here that did not exist before: the long address was already yours and the clicks are somebody else's. What the link adds is that all of them go through the same place — which is the only reason any of them can be counted.
Somebody put the full address on a flyer, a label or a card. Six months later the page moves, the campaign ends or the site is rebuilt, and every one of those printed addresses now leads nowhere. Nothing can be done about it because the paper is the link.
The short link is what is printed, and where it goes is a setting. The page moves and you change the destination; the flyer keeps working, and you find out how many people still read it.
A link can be minted by hand, by a process that reached the step where it needs one, or by your own code. The integration with Workflow is native, so a process can mint one per case — a different link for every file — without anybody opening anything.
Charging per link and not per click is what makes minting one per case affordable. If every click had a price, nobody would put a link on the thing that gets sent to everybody.
Very little, and on purpose: a shortener that needs a manual is a shortener nobody uses.
Minted once and yours from then on. It is what gets printed, said out loud or sent, and it is the unit that gets charged.
Where it points, and it can change without the link changing. That is the whole reason a printed link stops being a liability.
How many, and when. Every click goes through the same place, so the count is not an estimate.
So a process can mint one per case. It is the same link a person would have minted, and it costs the same.
