Content Details

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.
  • Tinyurl allows you to customize your link, but the results are not always a very small URL.
    • Example: www.tinyurl.com/eventname
  • (Sunsetted last July 2018) goo.gl will provide you with the shortest possible URL, but it is not customizable
    • Example: https://goo.gl/NzCzjb
Use the steps below to obtain a smaller URL for your event listing:
  1. Get your event link: Get Active.com Event Listing URL
  2. Choose either tinyurl
    • tinyurl
      1. Go to www.tinyurl.com
      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
  3. Copy and paste new URL where ever you need it
