How to claim a branded link address

Written by Donna

Your tracking links don't have to look generic anymore. Claim your own branded *.modash.link address and every link your creators share carries your brand name. No DNS setup, no support tickets - just instant credibility in a few clicks.

How to claim your branded address

  1. Go to any of these locations: the Affiliates banner, the Create link modal, or Brand settings → Link address.

  2. Click to claim your branded address.

  3. Your address is automatically generated from your workspace owner's email domain (e.g., if your email domain is dundermifflin.com, your address becomes dundermifflin.modash.link).

  4. Done! All new tracking links use your branded address right away.

💡 Only workspace admins can claim or change the branded link address. If you're not an admin, ask your workspace admin to set it up.

What changes after you claim

Once you've claimed your address, here's what happens:

  • New links automatically use your branded address (e.g., acme.modash.link/creator-name)

  • Existing mdsh.io links keep working exactly as before - nothing breaks

  • Changes apply instantly - no waiting for DNS propagation or setup delays

  • Your creators share links that look professional and trustworthy, without needing a custom domain

💡 If you have existing creator links that you would like to update to the new format, simply create a new link for those creators and share the change with them so they can update anywhere they currently have that link posted.

Want a different name?

Your address is generated from your workspace owner's email domain by default. If you'd like a different name, contact support at hello@modash.io and we'll set it up for you.

Branded address vs. custom domain

Modash offers two ways to brand your tracking links:

  • Branded modash.link address - claim instantly from inside Modash with zero setup. Your links look like acme.modash.link/creator-name.

  • Fully custom domain - use your own domain (like links.yourbrand.com). This requires DNS configuration and setup with our team. Contact your Success Manager or hello@modash.io to get started.

For most teams, the branded modash.link address is the fastest way to get professional-looking links up and running.

FAQs

  • Is claiming a branded address required?

    No. Claiming is completely optional. If you don't claim one, your links will continue to use the default mdsh.io domain.

  • Who can claim or change the branded link address?

    Only workspace admins can claim or change the branded address.

  • Can I change my branded address later?

    If you want a different name, contact support at hello@modash.io. Your address is based on your workspace owner's email domain by default.

  • Will my existing links break if I claim a branded address?

    No. All existing mdsh.io links keep working. Only new links will use your branded address going forward.

  • What's the difference between a branded modash.link address and a custom domain?

    A branded modash.link address (like acme.modash.link) can be claimed instantly with no setup. A fully custom domain (like links.yourbrand.com) requires DNS configuration and support assistance. Contact hello@modash.io to set one up.
