All About Link Shortening
sms.studio link shorteners
There is more than one way to shorten links with SMS.Studio
1. Use the {link} tag after setting a custom URL.
2. Automatically find and shorten links below the text editor.
3. Use the custom alias feature.
Using the {link} tag after setting a custom URL
This is the most basic way of shortening URLs. Just add your link and place the {link} tag within your content like: "Hi, Click here: {link}".
Automatically find and shorten links below the text editor
Why do we need this? For example, if you're too lazy adding your URL to the custom field or simply don't want to use tags OR you wish to use different links with different type of a\b testing messages - you can use your regular links and the system will shorten them for you. Convenient, eh?
Using the custom alias feature
Imagine sending a message with your brand name like short.url/YOU
Now, with SMS.Studio - you can! However, you won't be able to tell who clicked on your link because without the custom alias, the system generates a unique URL for each phone number.
