I love short links!
Short links are great. Even better if they are branded.
Once you introduce automation they are magical.
Some uses for short links:
- Shorten links (duh)
- Change links after distributing
- Imagine you can make a short link for a review service url like
google.com/long-review-linkthat ismysite.com/review. You can change the review site without needing to distribute new links or make new QR codes
- Imagine you can make a short link for a review service url like
- Add a password to links
- Add expiration date/time
- Hide query params and tracking info in links
- i could change my n8n affiliate link from
n8n.io/affiliate123toliamc.gg/n8n-free-trial
- i could change my n8n affiliate link from
- Makes qr codes less dense. Also when the url preview comes up it’s a much cleaner link
I have been using Short.io’s link shortening service for several years now. It has become an integral part of my business and the businesses of some of my clients.
I have no affiliation with short.io other than being a user.
The actual node
You will need to make an account.
If you want a branded short link (hint, you do it’s awesome) then you need to register separately
Screenshots of it in action
This screenshots showing the creation of ynts.tl/cool-n8n-projects (edit, i let that domain expire so the link doesnt work anymore)
There are tons of options
