Share link basics

This article talks about how to create a link and share your reel. The Share Links feature is one of ReelCrafter’s superpowers! This feature allows you to create several unique links that lead to a single reel, so you can share the same reel with multiple recipients and get detailed tracking for each link. So not only will you know when someone listened, but if you name your share link appropriately, you’ll also know who listened.
