Variable Go Links redirect to specific destinations when a custom value like a ticket # are added, powering hundreds of pages within a website. Users can make any part of an URL variable with a denotation and append Go Link URL to target specific destinations such as search results page or support tickets.
Creating a variable Go Link:
Click on "New Go Link" on your Go Links dashboard or New Tab Page (if you have the chrome extension installed and New Tab Page enabled)
Identify part of the Destination URL (parameter) to make variable and replace with {*}. For example, project.glean.com/123 -> project.glean.com/{*}
When typing a variable Go Link, the substitution would be denoted by another “/” following go/project (E.g. go/project/123)
If needed, specify default destination URL for Go Link without a variable. For example, you can specify go/project to be redirected to project.glean.com
There could be multiple variable substitutions in a single URL (E.g. go/project/123/abc)
