<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThen when SMS Reminders are sent out you may see something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can see the Zoom has been replaced by the GReminders “Short URL”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We went from a URL like: https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/w\/87652339171?tk=BVeY57fZ9gDxCpjwmpQjaPL2VtKh0O3oOWrBKxmC-Ww.DQIAAAAUaHyN4zZ2TGJBbzZKYVJwbUNkLXl4ckpRdVlnAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&pwd=Y1lPZnl2SFQzS3BCUi8yT2dEZWFYZz09<\/p>\n\n\n\n to: https:\/\/greminders.com\/l\/Ylnw2kXz<\/p>\n\n\n\n So from 195 characters down to 34 characters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is MUCH better. Makes it easy for your customers to click on and saves you money on SMS Credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note, the URL Shortner only applies to SMS Notifications. The system will not shorten URLs for Email Reminders (this is unnecessary, since there really aren’t any length restrictions on emails).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to also “shorten” links in Emails, you can use HTML to do this. For example you can do something like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n And this will show a “Click Here to Join” link. Remember HTML only works in Email, not SMSs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use this in your Templates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n or<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to specifically NOT shorten a link, perhaps due to branding purposes, etc…<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/www.greminders.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/url_shortner_example.png\")
