Core Concepts

What Are Attributes?

Attributes are structured metadata extracted from every incoming request. They power conditional logic and enable context-aware routing.

location_on

Where

Geolocation

Country, region, city, timezone. Route users to localized content and comply with data sovereignty laws.

country = US
region = EU
city = London
devices

What

Device & Platform

OS, browser, device type, screen size. Deliver device-optimized experiences and native app deep links.

os = iOS
device = mobile
browser = Chrome
schedule

When

Temporal Context

Date, time, day of week. Launch time-sensitive campaigns and schedule content rollouts.

time > 18:00
day = Friday
date = 2026-01-28
tag

Parameters

UTM & Query Strings

Campaign source, medium, content IDs. Track attribution and route based on campaign context.

utm_source = facebook
utm_campaign = spring
ref = email
Execution Flow

How It Works

Every redirect happens in four distinct phases, executed in milliseconds at the edge.

01
link

Request

User clicks a link. AlterURL receives the HTTP request with headers, IP, user-agent, and query parameters.

02
data_object

Extraction

Our engine parses the request and extracts structured attributes: device, location, time, referrer, and more.

03
rule

Evaluation

Rules are evaluated against extracted attributes. The highest-priority matching rule is selected.

04
arrow_forward

Redirection

User is redirected to the destination defined by the matching rule. All in milliseconds, with full observability.
