Overview
The Link Builder feature in BooleanMaths allows users to create short URLs for their source URLs. It provides a default domain (bfast.ai
) for shortening links, while also allowing users to add custom domains. Additionally, users can generate QR codes and track traffic analytics. Users can analyze website traffic, track key events such as product purchases and items added to the cart.
Log in to your BooleanMaths account.

Click on the Create Link button at the top right.
Select a domain for the short URL:
Default option: bfast.ai
.
Custom domain: If you have already added a custom domain, you can select it from the dropdown. (Follow step 3 for creating your own domain)
(Optional) Choose a custom URL ending for the short URL. If left blank, BooleanMaths will auto-generate it.
Enter the Source URL (the original long URL you want to shorten).
Select a Campaign
If you don’t have any campaign than create it first by clicking Create Campaign button.
