Below are instructions for creating a smaller URL for your event listing and registration links. Sometimes organizations want to tweet or provide a more customized or pretty link to their customers instead of the larger ACTVE.com event link. We suggest using either tinyurl or goog.le.

      2. Enter your event link in the field labeled: Enter a long URL to make tiny:
      3. Enter your custom alias like event name or abbreviation of event name
      4. Click Make TinyURL!
      5. Your tinyURL appears on left side of the screen
    • goog.le
      1. Go to https://goo.gl/
      2. Paste event link in the field labeled: Paste your long URL here:

      4. Verify you are not a robot
