Automatically disable links after a specific date and time.
One of the most common ways to control a temporary link is by setting an exact expiry date and time. Once the specified date and time is reached, the link automatically becomes unavailable, preventing further access to the destination URL.
This feature is ideal for time-sensitive campaigns, temporary file sharing, event registrations, promotional offers, and confidential information that should only remain available for a limited period.
When the configured expiry date and time is reached, SPRL automatically expires the temporary link. Visitors attempting to use the link after that time will no longer be able to access the destination URL.
