Create a URL redirect

Temporary URL redirects are managed inside the dashboard so ownership and abuse controls stay in place.

Public visitors can read this workflow page; creation stays inside account-controlled product surfaces.

Direct answer

A temporary secure link is useful when a private destination URL should expire, require protection, or stop working after a small number of visits.

What to avoid

  • Sharing permanent links to private documents or dashboards.
  • Using generic short links for sensitive destinations.
  • Forgetting to disable access after a vendor or client finishes a task.

Safer workflow

  1. 1 Create the temporary URL workflow from the dashboard.
  2. 2 Set the expiration and maximum visit count.
  3. 3 Share the generated link with the intended recipient.
  4. 4 Deactivate or rotate the destination after access is no longer needed.

FAQ

Is this the same as a generic shortener?

No. Secret Pusher focuses on temporary, protected delivery rather than permanent link shortening.

Why require the dashboard?

Redirect links need ownership, abuse controls, and management features.

Can a redirect expire after one visit?

The existing URL redirect workflow supports max-view limits.
