# Can I shorten my URL?

Yes, you can shorten your URL on the Apifon platform.

 A long URL in your message content reduces the character limit, alters the text uniformity and distracts the subscribers' attention. The solution is to convert a long URL into a short one.

 

#### **How do I shorten my URL?**

When you **copy-paste a URL** or insert a **URL subscriber field** to the content of your message, it is detected automatically by the platform; a pop-up window appears, and you can click on **Shorten my URL**.

#### **How do I track my shortened URLs?**

To see which recipients clicked on the shortened URL, follow these steps:

1. Select your campaign from the menu **Campaigns \> Messaging.**
2. Click **Tracking \>** **Viber Tracking / SMS Tracking.**
3. Click **Search**.
4. Click **Clicked** and then choose **Clicked.**
5. Click **Search.**

1. You can shorten **one URL per message**. 
2. URLs can only be detected in a [subscriber field](https://kb.apifon.com/create-custom-subscriber-field?hsLang=en) when the **field type is URL**. If the field type is TEXT, the URL will not be detected. 
3. You can make your shorten **URLs branded** so that they use your brand's prefix instead of Apifon's. For more information, feel free to contact your account manager or our sales team at ***sales@apifon.com.***
