Creating Trusted Destinations and Managing Pending Links

Trusted Destinations provide Enterprise admins with the ability to pre-approve safe destinations, ensuring that all links created adhere to company safety and compliance standards.




Creating Trusted Destinations

To create a new Trusted Destination, start by logging in to BLINK.


NOTE:

To manage Trusted Destinations, you must be an admin user.


From the left navigation, click on Admin > Trusted Destinations


Here, you will see a list of all of the Trusted Destination on the account. Click on the New Trusted Destination button in the upper right. 


The New Trusted Destination drawer will open on the right side of the screen.



Enter the destination URL in the Trusted Destination field. The Final Trusted Destination field will display a preview of how it will be added to the Trusted Destinations list.


In the Module field, select either Link or E-Link. The Link module will enable the destination for standard link creation within the BLINK account or from the API. The E-Link module allows you to create Trusted Destinations specifically for E-Link creation.


Then select the domain(s) for which to apply the new trusted destination. 


Click Create to save the new destination. 


Editing Trusted Destinations

To edit an existing Trusted Destination, start by logging in to BLINK.


From the left navigation, click on Admin > Trusted Destinations


Use the search and filtering options to locate the Trusted Destination from the list.


Click on the Trusted Destination to open the Edit drawer on the right. Make your changes, and then click Update to save your changes.


Deleting Trusted Destinations

To delete a Trusted Destination, start by logging in to BLINK.


From the left navigation, click on Admin > Trusted Destinations


Use the search and filtering options to locate the Trusted Destination from the list. 


Click on the Trusted Destination to open the Edit drawer on the right. Click on the three dots in the upper right corner, and then click Delete Trusted Destination


A pop-up will appear to confirm. To proceed, click Delete


Managing Pending Links

For standard users, when creating a new link that is not on the Trusted Destination list, a pop-up will appear notifying the user that the link's destination is not trusted.



The user can then proceed by clicking Request Approval. This will create the link and will display the link in the Links list in a Pending status. Admins on the account will be notified of a new pending link in their account notifications and via email.


An admin may then login and navigate to Admin > Pending Links to review the link. 


Click on the pending link to open the approval settings. 



Select Approve to add the destination to the Trusted Destinations list. This will display additional Trusted Destination settings to add it to the list.


Select Approve Once to approve the destination for the short link. 


Select Reject to reject the requested link. You may add a note to indicate why the link was not approved. The link will be put in an Inactive status, and the link will not redirect.


For admin users, when creating a new link to a destination that is not trusted, an error message will display indicating that the link is not trusted.



Click Learn More to manage the Trusted Destination settings. A pop-up will appear with two options:



Click Approve to add the link to the Trusted Destinations list. Click Approve Once to approve the destination only for this link. Then click Save to save your changes.
