First-class CSV import
Migrate from Rebrandly to reRoute
Import a Rebrandly API CSV. Destinations, slashtags and titles come across when the back-half is free. Printed rebrand.ly codes do not. Dashboard export is not offered; the API is.
Export path checked against Rebrandly docs.
Steps
1
Export from Rebrandly
Rebrandly documents that a links export is API-only — there is no dashboard CSV button. Pull links via GET /v1/links (fields destination, slashtag, title, shortUrl) or use their published export-to-CSV recipe, then upload the file. We auto-detect Destination, Slashtag, Title, and Short URL.
2
Upload the CSV
Sign in and open /dashboard/links/import, or start from /import if you do not have an account yet. Rows without a usable http(s) destination are counted and reported, never silently dropped.
3
Read the new addresses as rrte.link
Each imported row becomes a new dynamic link. A back-half such as launch-2026 becomes rrte.link/launch-2026 when that back-half is free. If it is taken, reserved, or duplicated in the file, that row gets a fresh short ID and the rest of the import continues. The Rebrandly URL itself is not transferred — no provider can take over another provider's domain.
4
Read the quota skip report
The import creates links up to the remaining quota on your plan and tells you exactly how many were skipped. Upgrade and re-run the file for the rest whenever you like.
5
Treat imported links as ordinary dynamic links
They pick up scan analytics from the first scan after import. You can add routing, expiry, a password or retargeting afterwards. Once a link exists here, it keeps redirecting forever, even if you cancel a paid plan. Plan limits only apply to creating new links.
6
Reprint anything that still encodes the old address
While the old Rebrandly account is active, and if that plan still lets you edit destinations, you can repoint those rebrand.ly links at the new rrte.link addresses so existing prints keep working during the switch. For every new print run, encode the rrte.link address.
What this will not do
- Import creates new rrte.link addresses. It cannot take over rebrand.ly short URLs — those still resolve through Rebrandly.
- Scan history, passwords, expiry dates and branded domains from the other provider do not come across. Only the destination, an available back-half, the title and the tags.
- Rebrandly documents that a links export is API-only. There is no dashboard CSV button.
- The free plan includes 3 dynamic links. A larger file imports up to the remaining quota and reports the rest as skipped. Paid plans are unlimited.
- One upload is capped at 1000 rows and 2 MB. Split a larger export and run the import again — taken back-halves receive new short IDs.
