Changelog

We've revamped our onboarding flow to make it more intuitive and beginner-friendly.

This is a huge improvement on our old flow, with simplified, guided steps for:

• creating a link
• adding a custom domain
• inviting a teammate

Feel free to sign up for an account and try it out here.

You can now import your links into Dub from a CSV file. This is useful if you have a large list of links to import or if you want to import links from another provider.

When you upload a CSV file, Dub AI will automatically map the columns in the file to the supported data fields in Dub. You can then review and edit the mappings before submitting the import.

Learn more about how to import your links via CSV.

You can now login to your Dub account with an email and password. This is convenient if you use a password manager and prefer to login with password instead of an email magic link.

If you have a Dub account, you can set up a password for it by going to your Account Security settings and selecting Create account password.

Note that this only applies to existing Dub users – we will be adding email + password sign up for new users soon.

You can now filter your analytics by continents. This is a great way to see which continents are driving the most traffic to your links.

Here's the full list of supported continents: Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, Antarctica.

You can also filter by continents when you export your analytics data.

We've introduced a new Notifications Center to help you keep track of important events in your workspace.

You can also choose to subscribe or unsubscribe to various email notifications (e.g. monthly summary emails, domain configuration updates, etc.).

You can now export your workspace's links to a CSV file. This is useful if you want to analyze the data locally or share them with an external stakeholder.

Learn how to export your links to CSV.

We've improved our domain management flow to make it easier to manage your domains.

Domains now live under your workspace settings, where you can:

• Filter by search term or archive status
• Add new custom domains
• Enable or disable default branded Dub domains (e.g. dub.sh, spti.fi, git.new)

Root domain links on Dub now have the same advanced features as regular short links – custom link previews, expiration date, password protection, and more.

They also show up on your links dashboard, so you can see all your root domain links and even assign tags to them for better organization.

Learn more about how you can customize your root domain links.

We've added a new Date Range Picker to our Analytics dashboard to make it easier to select custom date ranges for your reports.

You can select from a few preset date ranges like "Last 30 days", "Last 3 months", "Year to Date", or choose a custom date range. Here's a live demo for you to try it out.

This is also supported in our API via the start and end query parameters. Here's an example:

import { Dub } from "dub";
 
const dub = new Dub();
 
const data = await dub.analytics.retrieve({
  groupBy: "timeseries",
  start: "5 days ago", // natural language is supported
  end: new Date(Date.now()),
});
 
console.log(data); // [{ start: "2024-05-17", clicks: 69 }, { start: "2024-05-18", clicks: 42 }, ...]

Check out the docs to learn more.

If you're using Dub with a custom domain, your short links are now served with a noindex response header by default to prevent search engines from indexing them.

This helps avoid issues with Google Search console where short links might be indexed and show up in search results, which could potentially have a negative SEO impact.
