Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method performed by an online content management service computing system comprising one or more processors and memory, the method comprising: receiving, from a first client device operated by a user, a request to create a shareable link for a content item, wherein the request includes a first activity threshold for controlling access to the content item using the shareable link and an indication that link activity is to be monitored; wherein the first activity threshold comprises a first view count, the first view count representing a threshold number of times a request to access the shareable link is received by the online content management service computing system; creating, by one or more processors, the shareable link for the content item; storing the first activity threshold in association with the shareable link; receiving, from a second client device, a request by a recipient of the shareable link to access the content item using the shareable link; determining whether the first activity threshold has been met; in response to determining that the first activity threshold has been met, executing a first action on the shareable link; wherein the first action comprises sending a notification that the first activity threshold has been met; receiving, from a third client device operated by a user, a request to change the first activity threshold associated with the shareable link to a second activity threshold; wherein the second activity threshold comprises a second view count that is greater than the first view count; storing the second activity threshold in association with the shareable link; receiving, from a fourth client device, a request by a recipient of the shareable link to access the content item using the shareable link; determining whether the second activity threshold has been met; and in response to determining that the second activity threshold has been met, executing a second action on the shareable link; wherein the second action comprises sending a notification that the second activity threshold has been met.
