<Answer>
Open Links in the Easerix app, paste the destination URL, optionally choose a
custom code, and create. Your link is live on esrx.ly immediately, starts
recording clicks on first use, and comes with a downloadable QR code.

## Steps

1. Open **Links** in the Easerix app ([app.easerix.com](https://app.easerix.com)).
2. Choose **New link** and paste the destination URL.
3. Optionally set a **custom code** — `esrx.ly/your-code` — or let Links generate one.
4. Create. The short link is live immediately; copy it or grab the **QR code**.

## Verify it works

Open the short link in a private window: you should land on the destination, and the click appears in the link's analytics view.

## Do it from the copilot or CLI instead

- Ask the AI copilot: *"create a short link to example.com/pricing called pricing"* — it will create the link and hand back the short URL.
- From a terminal: `easerix links create https://example.com/pricing --title "Pricing"`.

## Good to know

- Paused links show an unavailable page rather than a broken redirect — safe to print QR codes.
- Custom codes are first come, first served across the workspace.
