Has someone solved of find a way to share a short URL, can t really figure out with Zapier
Recently at lowcode.agency, what we do to have short, personalized short links, assuming we’re adding new rows through a form/add row button:
-
Have an action to send a webhook payload to Integromat/Make. Let’s say I create an article with the title “How to create short links with Glide”, I will send the row’s ID, alongside the aforementioned title to Integromat.
-
To create that action, I usually leverage the user’s action to do it. When they click on an item in the list, my combo action usually looks like: Show details screen > Trigger webhook (sending link to the current screen, rowID and title).
-
In Integromat, I will add a module for Short.io, putting in the title as the URL’s “path”, and the original link being the “link to current screen” variable.
-
Once the module finishes running, I use a Google Sheets “search row” module to search for the row to update, using the rowID that I sent in the first step.
-
If a row is found, I update the shortened link to a column of that row.
Then, back to Glide, add a button to “share this item”, pointing to the shortened URL column.
