How It Works

reLinkIt replaces blind redirects with intentional, policy-driven decisions. Every click is evaluated before access is granted.

Overview

From short link to smart decision

Traditional short links immediately redirect users with no context, no verification, and no control once shared.

reLinkIt introduces a decision layer between the click and the destination. This allows you to enforce rules, apply security, and log outcomes — all without changing the URL.

Decision Flow

User Click
→ Policy Evaluation
→ Optional Verification
→ Access Logged
→ Redirect or Deny

Step 1

Create a Smart Link

Start with any destination URL — a payment page, invoice, document, or portal.

Create a short reLinkIt URL
Keep the destination hidden or replaceable
Share the same link everywhere

Step 2

Attach Policies & Rules

Define what must happen before access is allowed.

Time windows & expiration
CAPTCHA or human verification
Conditional routing
Manual or automatic disable

Example Policy

IF invoice_active = true
AND captcha_passed = true
→ allow access
ELSE → deny

Step 3

User Clicks the Link

When someone clicks a reLinkIt URL, they do not immediately reach the destination.

Instead, the request is evaluated in real time against the rules you defined.

What Happens at Click Time

Click received
→ Context gathered
→ Policy executed

Step 4

Verification & Enforcement

If required, users may be challenged or denied.

CAPTCHA challenges
Verification pages
Access-denied responses

This is especially critical for payment pages and invoices, where abuse or forwarding must be prevented.

Payment Example

Invoice Link Click
→ CAPTCHA Required
→ Passed → Payment Page
→ Failed → Access Denied

Step 5

Redirect or Deny Access

Only after rules pass does the redirect occur.

You may route users to different destinations depending on outcomes — or block access entirely.

Possible Outcomes

Redirect to destination
Redirect to alternate page
Access denied

Step 6

Logging, Auditing & Control

Every attempt — successful or not — is recorded.

2025-12-21 19:04 — PASS — payment-invoice
2025-12-21 19:02 — FAIL — captcha_required
2025-12-21 18:58 — PASS — verified

Links can be modified, disabled, or repointed at any time — without changing the URL.

Why This Matters

reLinkIt is built for scenarios where access matters:

Payments & invoices

Sensitive documents

Temporary access

Your links should enforce rules — not hope.

Build smart links that decide before they redirect.
