Some tips for those migrating from Rebrandly

I was excited to be able to get an LTD on a potential replacement for Rebrandly which was good but has now locked everything down so that you have to pay to play essentially and it has also become nagware. The microsites looks good too but I haven't explored those nor the QR codes yet.

If you too are coming over from Rebrandly there are some things you should know:
* Pixel doesn't automatically route www at the moment. (!)
* URL slugs are case sensitive so, in our case, we need to create two of every link; one human-readable and one all lowercase. (!)
* We can not use links to image or file downloads even if the link works correctly the file or image simply won't download. (!)
* At the moment the search function only searches links visible in the current table view so good luck searching for your links!
* You can't import your links for a custom URL without first connecting the custom domain which increases the potential downtime during the transition.
* You can only import 500 links at a time (the actual limit seems to be less, though) which also increases the downtime during the transition and increases the prep time.

To get my links from Rebrandly I used:
* Instant Data Scraper Chrome Extension: https://webrobots.io/instantdata/
* Get Redirects Script for Google Sheets: https://support.google.com/docs/thread/256755070

404 redirect isn't yet working but is hopefully a high priority. It's not available on Rebrandly free level so it's not included in the list above but it is something you should be aware of esp if you're using Rebrandly paid version and are used to having the 404 redirect.
