Who this is for
Authors promoting an ARC team across social channels and tracking which channels work.Overview
Generates copyable signup links with built-in attribution tracking.How it works
Copy link modal includes
- A short link copied by default (
cabinspress.com/go/{code}or{custom-domain}/{code}when configured) - Attribution source dropdown with 19 presets:
- Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Goodreads, Threads, Discord, TikTok, X, Bluesky, YouTube, Reddit, Substack, BookBub, Newsletter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Tumblr, Snapchat, Email
- Plus a Custom… option for anything else
- Author copies the link with the source baked in and shares it
- Each signup is tagged with the source
- Click count shown after copy; increments when readers follow the short link
- Copy full URL available as an advanced fallback when a platform strips UTM parameters
Configuration on the book
- Signup window — start and end dates when the form accepts new readers
- Download window — separate start/end dates when readers can actually download the file
- Max ARC readers — optional cap (signups beyond this return “ARC signup is full”); leave blank for unlimited
Attribution reporting
- Attribution pie chart on the book detail page shows signup count by source
- First-touch attribution (the source from the link they used to sign up)
- Missing sources show as “unknown”
Common questions
- When the cap is hit, the signup form returns a clear error message — no waitlist today
- Signup form remains accessible after cap (returns error rather than 404)
- Multiple signup windows per book are not supported — one window per book at a time
