Smart links built for campaigns, QR codes, and trackable redirects.
Beacons turns shared links into managed assets. Create branded smart links on your own domain, generate QR codes, control campaign tracking, update destinations, and monitor engagement through the ForVera ecosystem.
Shared links should not become dead ends.
Once a link is printed, emailed, posted, or turned into a QR code, changing it usually means starting over. Beacons adds a controlled routing layer so campaigns can keep working even when destinations, tracking needs, or content change—all from your branded domain.
Use your own branded domain, not a generic shortener.
Fix destinations without replacing public links.
Keep QR campaigns flexible.
Preserve cleaner UTM tracking.
Understand which links are being used.
Prevent random, unmanaged links from spreading.
One managed link. Multiple layers of control.

Simple on the surface. Controlled underneath.
Create a Beacon
Choose a slug, destination, campaign data, notes, preview details, and optional lifecycle controls.
Share the Link or QR
Use the Beacon in print, email, social media, websites, signage, portals, or client workflows.
Beacons Routes
The system resolves the slug, checks status, applies campaign rules, logs the request, and redirects.
Update Anytime
Change the destination, campaign data, or status later without replacing the public URL or QR code.
Print once. Change the destination later.
Beacons QR codes point to the managed short link, not the final destination. That means a QR code on a flyer, postcard, label, sign, or business card can keep working even when the destination changes.
QR links stay stable • Campaign destinations can change • Printed materials last longer • Redirects remain trackable
Cleaner campaign tracking without messy URLs.
Beacons can store campaign tracking values at the link level, helping teams avoid long, duplicated, inconsistent UTM URLs. The public short link stays clean while campaign data is handled behind the scenes.
Know what happened after the click.
Beacons logs redirect activity so campaigns are not judged by guesswork. Each request can capture whether the slug matched, whether a redirect occurred, response behavior, bot signals, fallback routes, and timing data.
Temporary links when forever is too long.
Beacons Pro supports links that expire after a deadline, view limit, or controlled access rule. Plus a secret message feature: share sensitive text (passwords, usernames, private info) that's only readable with a secret key, then auto-destroy after access.
Share passwords, API keys, and credentials securely with automatic expiration
Secret message feature: text content revealed only with a secret key
Auto-expire after deadline, view count, or access code validation
Custom fallback message after link expires or content is burned
Admin control: unlock, reset, extend, or immediately burn anytime
Detailed audit trail of all link access and changes
Built with link governance from the start.
Beacons is designed for controlled use. Public visitors can follow links, but link creation belongs inside the ForVera-managed admin layer. Slugs are governed, system routes are protected, and advanced controls can restrict or expire links when needed.
Staff-only link creation
Reserved slug protection
Active/inactive status control
Optional expiration controls
Optional access-code behavior
Safe fallback behavior
