Link Shortener in Stack's Social Planner

A link shortener, also known as a URL shortener, is a handy tool that transforms a lengthy URL into a shorter, more manageable link. This shorter link redirects users to the original destination when clicked. Stack's Social Planner includes support for a Link Shortener.

How It Works​

  1. Access the Social Planner

    • Navigate to Marketing > Social Planner in your Stack account.

  2. Create a Post

    • Click on Create Post to open the post composer.

  3. Select Social Platforms

    • Choose the social platforms where you want to share your post.

  4. Create a Campaign (Optional)

    • If you wish to track the shortened URL, consider creating a new campaign.

  5. Add and Shorten URLs

    • Click on the URL shortener icon in the post composer.
    • Enter the name for your link, the target URL, and any custom parameters you wish to include.
    • Once generated, you can reuse this shortened link.

  6. Compose Your Post

    • Add your content to the social post. If you include a long URL, clicking the URL shortener will display the shortened URL in the preview. The input box will still show the long URL for your reference.

  7. Publish or Schedule

    • You can either publish the post immediately or schedule it for later.

Additional Notes​

  • Statistics Feature: The ability to view statistics on who clicked your link is coming soon.
  • URL Display: In the preview, the shortened URL will be visible, while the input box will retain the long URL for clarity.

By using Stack's Social Planner, you can efficiently manage your social media posts and track engagement through shortened URLs.
