Example of a remotely executable automation (HTTP endpoint or API)
Convert those never-ending URLs into tiny, shareable links with just one click—no tech skills needed.
Manually shortening URLs every time you need to share a long link is a tedious hassle—each copy-paste into a separate shortener wastes seconds that can quickly add up, especially when you’re managing campaigns or sending out multiple links daily through different channels. In fast-paced digital environments, these repetitive steps not only sap your productivity but increase the risk of errors and inconsistent link formats. Without automation, you risk wasted time, increased operational costs, and missed opportunities to streamline your workflows or gain real-time visibility into your link performance.
Botize’s formula allows you to trigger an automated URL shortener instantly via a remote HTTP endpoint or API call—just pass your long URL and receive the short version in response, reliably and in real time. This setup lets you link Botize with any app, website, or workflow where you need dynamic link shortening, saving countless micro-tasks and ensuring all links are concise and trackable. You gain maximum flexibility: configure the automation to trigger on demand, on schedule, or from any system that can make an HTTP request, so you keep total control while eliminating manual labor. It’s efficiency and consistency, all in one simple API-call-enabled formula.
