What are personal links?

Everything you create in BASH comes with a general link. Share it, and anyone who opens it has access.

You can also share personally. Select people from your Audience and BASH creates a unique link for each person. That's a personal link.

Personal links give you three things:

  1. Per-person tracking β€” who opens, who forwards, and what it leads to

  2. A limit per person β€” not per order, but actually per person

  3. Access via login β€” recipients can always find everything on your org page


1. Per-person tracking

You see per link who opens it, who forwards it, and what it leads to.

If someone forwards the link, the recipient can still open and buy. The sale is tracked as a referral from the original person.

Example: Anna receives a personal ticket link and forwards it to Sophie. Sophie sees "Anna's Ticket" and buys one. That sale counts as a referral from Anna.


2. Limit per person

Each person can only use the link a set number of times. Total, not per order.

With a general link you set a total capacity (e.g. 1,000 tickets) and a max order size (e.g. 20). But nothing stops one person from simply placing multiple orders.

With a personal link you set a hard limit per person:

  • Tickets: max number of tickets that can be bought through that link

  • Quests: max number of times proof can be submitted

  • Referral links: max number of tickets that can be sold through someone's link


3. Access via login

Everything you share with someone is also available by logging in.

Recipients don't need the link to get access. They can log in to your org page on BASH with their email address. Everything you've shared with them is right there.


Sending

Optional. Via WhatsApp or email.

Sending personal links is transactional: short and to the point. The channel depends on the preference of the recipient and organiser.

Want to add more context? Use the general link combined with Messages in BASH, or send it through your own email tool.
