Catch-All Links & Domain Routing
Catch-All links let you capture traffic that arrives at your bare domain root — without needing a slug in the URL. This is perfect for branded short domains, custom landing pages, and multi-domain routing.
What is a Catch-All Link?
Normally, a tracking link requires a slug: yoursite.com/my-campaign. A catch-all link removes this requirement — visitors going to yoursite.com (the root) are automatically routed through your catch-all link.
Example: If your default subdomain is john.ckv.to, enabling catch-all on a link means visitors to john.ckv.to are routed to that link's targets — instead of seeing the ClickerVolt homepage.
How to Enable
- Open the Link Editor (create new or edit existing link).
- Next to the "Slug" label, check the "Catch-All" checkbox.
- The slug input is replaced with a "Root Domain (no slug)" indicator.
- Save the link. Your domain root now routes to this link.
Limit: Only one catch-all link per account. If you already have a catch-all link and try to create another, you'll get an error.
Domain-Based Routing
The real power of catch-all links comes when combined with domain-based eligibility rules on your targets. If you have multiple custom domains pointing to your account, you can route each domain to a different destination.
Setting Up Domain Rules
- Create a single catch-all link with multiple targets.
- On each target, add an eligibility rule with the "Domain" condition.
- Select the domain from the dropdown (your default subdomain and custom domains are listed).
- Each target now only receives traffic from its assigned domain.
Example: Target A with rule "Domain equals yourdomain1.com" receives yourdomain1.com traffic. Target B with rule "Domain equals john.ckv.to" receives john.ckv.to traffic. One catch-all link, multiple destinations.
Use Cases
- Branded domains: Route yourdomain1.com directly to your offer without a slug.
- Multi-domain routing: Different custom domains → different targets via domain rules.
- Default subdomain: Make john.ckv.to useful instead of showing the homepage.
- Clean URLs: Share yoursite.com instead of yoursite.com/some-slug.
