How to tell moz about the domain redirects?

If I redirected my previous domain to my new domain, how can I tell moz that the previous domain is redirected?

Hi there,
Sam from Moz's Help Team here!
Are you referring to your Campaigns? If so, unfortunately, there's no way to change the URL your Campaign is tracking once the Campaign has been created. Once a Campaign URL is set it cannot be changed because of way we track and store historical data; it would get really confusing to have data for more than one website in a single report.
The best thing I could recommend would be to create a fresh Campaign for the new URL. https://analytics.moz.com/campaigns/new
You can read more about Campaign setup here https://moz.com/help/moz-pro/getting-started/campaign-setupIf you're asking about Link Explorer, you don't need to notify us of a redirect manually - We do take 301 redirects into account in terms of our index updates.
Something to note though is that for us to update any 301 link, we would need to re-discover the old pages to be able to follow and update the metrics. This is not likely common for sites with lower authority since old links are not continuously shared on new pages/articles/blogs.
Link Explorer works solely through link discovery and crawling. For every link we index/crawl, these links are not guaranteed to be re-crawled.I hope this helps answer your question! If there's anything else you need, just let me know — I'm always here if you need any help!
