You can generate a tokenized, shareable link for any report. Recipients open the link in a browser, see a read-only version of the report, and can ask follow-up questions (counting against your quota). No app account required.
Shareable links are how you distribute analysis to stakeholders — execs, partners, clients — without exposing their data or giving them a seat.
Creating a share link
From an open report, click Share. A panel opens with:
URLgeneratedThe shareable link, in the form https://listmatchgenie.com/shared/reports/<token>. The token is unguessable and not indexed by search engines.
Passwordoptional (Pro+)Optional password to require before viewing. Recipients enter the password once, then the report stays accessible in the browser session. Use for anything with sensitive aggregates.
ExpirationoptionalAuto-expire the link after a chosen date. Useful for one-time shares — the link becomes a "Link Expired" page after that date.
Allow follow-upsbooleanDefault: trueWhen true, recipients can ask follow-up questions of the Genie (counting against your account's AI-questions quota). When false, the Q&A section is hidden from the shared view.
Allow exportbooleanDefault: falseWhen true, recipients can export the report's CSV/XLSX/PDF. When false, they see the report but can't download the data.
Once configured, copy the URL and send it however you like — email, Slack, presentation link. Recipients don't need a ListMatchGenie account.
What recipients see
When someone opens a share link:
- Branded header with your account's name (if set) or the generic ListMatchGenie branding
- The full report — every section exactly as you see it
- Follow-up Q&A if enabled
- Export buttons if enabled
Recipients do not see:
- Your original source or master files
- Raw row data (unless present as samples in the report, which the report author can opt out of)
- Anything outside this specific report
- Your other reports or matches
Managing active links
The Reports page has a Shared links panel showing every active link:
- URL (copy button)
- Report
- Created date
- Expiration (if set)
- Password-protected indicator
- View count
- Revoke button
Click Revoke to invalidate a link immediately. Anyone with the URL gets a "Link revoked" page.

Security considerations
- Tokens are unguessable. 128 bits of entropy per token — brute-force infeasible.
- Tokens are not indexed. The shared-reports domain includes
noindexheaders; search engines skip them. - No account bypass. A shared link grants read access to the report only, not to your ListMatchGenie account, any other reports, or the underlying match data.
- Password is bcrypt-hashed before storage. Even if a database dump leaked, the password couldn't be recovered.
- Follow-up questions count against your quota, not the viewer's. If you don't want viewers consuming your AI quota, disable follow-ups on that share.
