Link Shortener

Hey Backendless team! I went through the Marketplace and I think I know the answer to this question but is there any built in way, template, or marketplace component that could be used to easily enable link shortening for an app’s client?

The example use case here is that my app has a form that needs to be distributed to external stakeholders. This form takes in a couple URL parameters to adjust what is shown for each stakeholder, which makes the link a bit cumbersome. I am trying to think of a way that I can create a shortened link through the app that can be distributed to the stakeholders instead of the longer one.

Hi James,

There is no built-in (or available through the Marketplace) functionality for URL shortening. I am sure there are public APIs providing that capability (unless you want to build one yourself).

Regards,
Mark
