Analytics share links let a partner read a focused Usetix report without an admin account. Each link is read-only, can cover all events or one event, expires automatically, and can be revoked immediately.

Use them for sponsors, artists, venues, agencies, or clients who need results but should not see orders, customer details, settings, or the rest of your dashboard.

  1. Open Analytics in the Usetix dashboard.
  2. Choose Today, 7, 30, 90, or a custom date range.
  3. Optionally select one event.
  4. In Share report, choose an expiry of 7, 30, or 90 days.
  5. Keep branding enabled to show the account logo and colors, or turn it off for a neutral report.
  6. Create the link, then copy the web report URL or PDF URL.

The public report shows headline revenue and conversion metrics, the funnel, and top sources for the selected scope. Its numbers remain live for that fixed date range: later orders, visits, and refunds that belong to the range are reflected when the recipient opens the report again.

Treat the URL as a secret

The opaque URL is the credential. Anyone who receives it can read the report until it expires or is revoked; recipients do not sign in.

Usetix sends noindex, nofollow, noarchive, no-referrer, and no-store protections on these reports. Those controls reduce accidental indexing and URL leakage, but they do not prevent a recipient from forwarding the link or saving the PDF.

  • Send each audience its own link so you can revoke access independently.
  • Choose the shortest useful expiry.
  • Do not place a share URL in a public page, newsletter archive, or support ticket.
  • Revoke a link immediately when its audience or scope was wrong.

Expired and revoked links return 404 Not Found. Existing downloaded PDFs cannot be recalled.

The Analytics page lists active links and their event, report dates, branding choice, and expiry. Opening a link does not extend its lifetime. Revocation deletes the link rather than merely hiding it.

CLI

The typed CLI workflow is convenient for repeatable handoffs:

usetix analytics shares
usetix analytics share --event spring-showcase --period 30 --expires-in 7
usetix analytics share --period custom --start-on 2026-07-01 --end-on 2026-07-31 --branded=false
usetix analytics revoke 42 --yes

Use --json, --ids-only, or --count for scripts. Revocation always requires --yes.

API and MCP

The Analytics API can list, create, inspect, and revoke links. Read operations accept a read token; creation and revocation require Read + Write.

The built-in assistant and MCP expose manage_analytics_publications with list, create, and revoke actions. For a custom period, give it YYYY-MM-DD..YYYY-MM-DD. Ask it to confirm the audience, period, event, expiry, and branding before creating a link.

Need to share raw data instead? Use the authenticated Analytics API or an admin export; public share links intentionally expose a compact report rather than customer-level records.
