# Shorten URLs in a text — Yourls

Botize method — `yourls.shorten_urls_in_text` (action).

Finds any URL within a text and shortens them.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `text` *(string)* — Text

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{modified_text}}` *(text)* — Modified text
