TinyURL integration

Connect TinyURL with your Softr applications to turn long, unwieldy URLs into short, shareable links automatically. Build workflows that shorten links the moment they’re needed — when a form is submitted, a record is added, or a new member signs up — so every link you share is clean and easy to pass along.

​
Overview

The Softr TinyURL integration links your no-code apps directly to your TinyURL account. Whenever your workflow produces a URL worth sharing — a referral link, a campaign page, a personalized signup link — you can automatically shorten it into a TinyURL link with a custom alias, your choice of short domain, and optional tags and expiration, then store or send the short link anywhere in your app. Whether you’re building a marketing dashboard, a member portal, or a referral program, the TinyURL integration keeps every shared link short, readable, and on-message — powered by one of the longest-running URL shorteners on the web.

​
Available Actions

Shorten any URL into a TinyURL link with an optional custom alias, short domain (tinyurl.com, tiny.one, or rotf.lol), tags, expiration date, and description — all set dynamically from your Softr workflow. The short link comes back ready to store in a record, send in an email, or show to your users. Change a link’s metadata — move it to another domain, rename its alias, replace its tags or description, set a new expiration date, or toggle click-analytics collection. Pick the link from a live dropdown of the aliases in your connected TinyURL account.

​
Change destination

Point an existing short link at a new destination URL, so links you’ve already shared start leading somewhere new — perfect for rotating promos behind one permanent short link. Available on paid TinyURL plans. Deactivate a link and move it to your archived list when a campaign ends or a link shouldn’t be used anymore — reversible from your TinyURL dashboard. Retrieve the links in your connected TinyURL account — active or archived — to loop over them, sync them into a Softr table, or build reports.

​
Key Benefits

  • No-code simplicity: Configure TinyURL actions visually in Softr — no code required beyond the one-time API token setup.
  • Short links on autopilot: Shorten URLs the moment your workflow runs, instead of pasting them into TinyURL by hand.
  • Readable, memorable links: Give each link a custom alias like tinyurl.com/spring-sale instead of a random code.
  • Links that expire when you want: Set an expiration date on time-limited links — promos, invitations, early-access offers — so they stop working on schedule.
  • Share-ready output: Use the short link immediately in the next workflow step — save it to a record, send it via email or Slack, or display it in your app.
