Custom link endings

The part at the end of a short link can be a word you choose, like /summer-sale, instead of random letters.

Why use it

A short link normally ends in random letters. Choosing your own ending makes the link easy to read, remember, and trust when people see it.

Start a new short link

Open Short links and begin creating a new one.

Type your own ending

In the ending field, type the word you want, for example summer-sale, instead of leaving the random one.

Save the link

Click save. If the ending is free, your link is ready to share.

TIP

Use simple lowercase words and hyphens, like spring-promo. They look clean and work everywhere.

Each ending can be used only once in your workspace, so it must not already be taken.
If you leave it blank, a short random ending is filled in for you.
Keep endings short and simple so they are easy to type and remember.
You can change where the link points to later without changing the ending.

For developers

Slugs default to a short base62 string (~6 characters). You can override with a custom slug per link.

json

POST /api/v1/short-links
{ "url": "https://example.com/long-target", "slug": "spring-promo" }

The slug is unique workspace-wide (DB-level unique index). A collision returns 409 Conflict.
Omit the slug field to get an auto-generated base62 slug; the response includes the assigned slug.
No length limit is enforced in the model — keep it under 64 chars for usability. Lowercase alphanumeric and hyphens are universally safe.
Slugs are stable; the url can change via PUT /api/v1/short-links/:slug. Clicks already in flight redirect to the new target on the next hit.
