Onboarding
Goal: Get you from account creation to a published /<slug> link page, with the minimum decisions required.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”OnLynk is a link-in-bio and landing-page product: you build a public link page with buttons and cards, control when it is visible with published status, and (on supported plans) unlock analytics, custom domains, geo rules, cloaking, direct links, chatbot, and Meta Pixel.
A typical journey:
- Create an account and sign in to the dashboard.
- Pick a subscription that matches the features you need.
- Optionally create or join an organization for shared pages (Agency plans).
- Create your first link page, set a slug, add content, and publish.
- Share your public URL (default host or a custom domain).
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- The dashboard is only available to signed-in users.
- Your plan gates features (for example analytics, custom domains, geo-restrictions, cloaking, direct links, chatbot, Public API).
- Each page has a published flag: only published pages are served to the general public (subject to domain and quota rules).
- Visitor interactions generate events (views, clicks, redirects, geo actions, chatbot taps) that power analytics where your plan includes it.

Limitations
