Shortening URLs

If you need to shorten your URL, you can do so using the shorten URL box.

Add the shorten URL box

Note

This will change the domain of your URLs.

Get Filename from URL

If you need to extract the file name from a URL, you can do so using the get filename from the URL box

For example, you could extract filename.csv from the following URL: http://example.com/path/to/filename.csv

Add the get filename from the URL box

Adding and changing URL parameters or fragments

Adding a URL Fragment

With this box, you can add a fragment to a URL.

For example, if you want to add the fragment test to the following URL http//www.yourdomain.com?utm_campaign=google_pla, you could do so using the add URL fragment box.

The outcome of our example would be: http//www.yourdomain.com?utm_campaign=google_pla#test

Add the add URL fragment box
Enter the fragment to add (without the #)

Adding or changing a URL parameter

You can add or change URL parameters with the add/change link parameter box. This could be very useful for dealing with tracking parameters, for example. You can both add a static parameter for all products, as well as dynamic parameters by using the values from other columns in the Platform.

Add the add/change link parameter box box
Enter the parameter name
Enter either a static value for the parameter, or select a dynamic column
