What are Short URLs?

Create friendly, short URLs for anything in your community!

The URL shortener takes any link and converts it to a short and readable format! Ex: https://discord.com/invite/123456 -> mycommunity.com/discord

Creating a Short URL

New Short URL

To forward https://discord.com/invite/123456 to our custom domain's mycommunity.com/discord

1. Enter the existing URL https://discord.com/invite/123456

2. Enter the new short URL path discord

3. (Optional) add a description Discord invite link

After adding the new short URL, it will be viewable, searchable, and copyable in the table below.

Domain Formats

The CMS supports three types of short URL formats:

• Custom Domain: customdomain.com/shorturl

• Vanity Domain: communityid.sonorancms.com/shorturl

• Long Domain: sonorancms.com/com/communityuuid/shorturl

The custom path will work on all three of these options. The toggle simply allows you to select which format you are copying.

Reserved Paths

Sonoran CMS has several internal URL paths that can not be overridden by a custom short URL.

Sonoran CMS will also not allow you to override an existing website slug with a custom short URL.
