How do you generate a secret link for a recipient from the sent page?

You can generate a secret link for a recipient on a promo you have already sent. Use this when you are talking to them outside email (WhatsApp, Instagram, and similar) and still want tracked plays, downloads, and feedback. It is also useful if they already received the promo and need the link again.

From Sent

1. Go to Sent.
2. Find the correct promo and recipient. Search is the quickest way.
3. On that row, click the link icon (Generate secret link). This is not a padlock.
4. Promoly creates a private link for that row's recipient. You do not pick a different contact here.

A panel titled Secret link ready opens. It is a private, tracked link for one person.

What you see

• An attribution card labelled Goes to, with the person and the campaign name, so it is obvious who the link belongs to.
• The secret link itself. Click it to Copy link only.
• An editable Message. Change it before you send. Promoly starts you with a short greeting plus the link.
• Share to actions: WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, X, SMS, Email, Copy, and More on devices that offer a system share sheet.

Promoly does not send the message for you, choose the recipient's WhatsApp number, or record whether they received it.

On a computer, WhatsApp drops the greeting when a link is attached. Clicking copies the message and opens WhatsApp. Paste it after you pick the chat. On a phone, WhatsApp opens with the message filled in.

Instagram has no pre-filled compose. Promoly copies the message first, then opens Instagram DMs so you can paste it. If the copy fails, you stay in the panel.

Preview without affecting stats

Use Preview campaign in the panel. That opens a tracking-safe preview, not the recipient's secret link.

Do not open the secret link yourself. Visiting it records activity against that contact.

If preview is not available yet, save the campaign and try again.

Accurate reporting

Only send this link to the person on the card. Generating a link for one recipient and sharing it with someone else gives you incorrect stats.

To create a secret link from the campaign list (including Use a name only when you do not have their email), see Secret Link.
