How do I create short links from Slack?
Updated Oct 7, 2026
Connect Slack with a one-time code from Developer → Integrations, then type /shortgo followed by a URL (and optionally a custom alias) in any channel.
Use the ShortGo Slack slash command:
- In ShortGo, open Developer → Integrations and generate a one-time connection code.
- Follow the instructions there to link your Slack account using that code.
- In Slack, type
/shortgo https://example.comto get a short link back.
You can add a custom alias after the URL if you want a specific slug. Links created from Slack are saved to your ShortGo account, so they appear in your dashboard with full analytics like any other link.
