Time-Based Routing

Redirect by Time — Schedule URL Switches for Sales & Events

Set a link once. It automatically routes visitors to the right page during a sale, live event, or office hours — and switches back when the time is up.

Switches automatically — no manual action needed

Without time routing

Flash sales and live events require you to manually swap links — and someone always forgets.

You post a sale link. The sale ends. People still click it and see the expired offer.

Webinar replay goes live, but the registration page is still up. Leads go nowhere.

You wake up at midnight to manually swap the link for a Black Friday launch.

No way to pre-schedule a campaign link — you need to be online when it starts.

With Revolink

Set the schedule once. The link handles everything automatically.

Sale ends at midnight → link auto-switches to 'sold out' page

Webinar starts → link switches from registration to live stream

Campaign launches while you sleep — no late-night manual action

Pre-schedule weeks or months in advance and forget about it

Set up in 4 steps

Configure once, runs forever on schedule.

01

Create a smart link

Paste your main destination — for example, your sale page URL — and create a branded short link on your custom domain.

02

Add a time rule

2 min

Click Add Rule → pick Time → set the active window. Example: November 28, 00:00 – November 30, 23:59 (US Eastern). Visitors during this period go to your sale page.

03

Set a fallback destination

Choose where visitors go outside the active window — your regular product page, a 'waitlist' page, or a 'sale ended' page. Fallback is required, so no one ever sees a dead link.

04

Share the link now — it activates later

Done

Publish the link in your emails, social posts, and ads today. On the scheduled date and time, routing switches automatically. No action needed from you.

Common questions

What time zone does Revolink use for time-based routing?

You choose: you can route by the visitor's local time zone (detected from their IP) or by a fixed time zone you set — for example, US Eastern Time for a US-only flash sale. Both modes are supported.

Can I schedule a redirect to activate on a specific date, not just a time of day?

Yes. You can set a date range — start date and end date — in addition to a time window. For example: show the Black Friday sale page from November 28 at 00:00 to November 30 at 23:59, then automatically revert to the regular page.

What happens when the time window is outside the active period?

Visitors go to your fallback destination. You set the fallback when creating the link, so no visitor ever hits a dead end or a sale that's already over.

Can I combine time routing with country or device rules?

Yes. You can create layered rules — for example, US mobile users during business hours see one page, European desktop users on weekends see another. Rules evaluate top-to-bottom; first match wins.

Does time-based routing work for recurring schedules, like every Monday at 9am?

Yes. You can set rules to repeat on specific days of the week. This is useful for weekly deals, live events, or office hours pages that cycle on a regular schedule.

How far in advance can I schedule a redirect?

There is no limit. You can create a link today and schedule it to activate 6 months from now. Once the time window opens, routing switches automatically — no manual action required.
