Automate Short Link Creation from Google Sheets Rows

Introduction

Turn long URLs in your spreadsheet into branded short links automatically—so your team shares cleaner links without manual copy-paste. ✅

Trigger Event

A row is added or updated in your Google Sheet.

Actions

• Create a clean, human-friendly slug from a chosen text field (e.g., campaign or title) to keep links memorable.
• Generate a short link (and optional QR) from the long URL using your link shortener.
• If the chosen custom slug is already taken, the run stops to avoid bad data.
• Otherwise, the new short URL is written back to the same sheet row in the target column—keeping your sheet always up to date.

Benefits

• ✔️ Save hours by auto-shortening links at the moment rows change
• ✔️ Fewer copy-paste errors and consistent naming with optional custom slugs
• ✔️ Faster sharing with short links (and QR codes when needed)
• ✔️ One source of truth: short URL saved right in the original row
