Link shortening

Schedulin can shorten URLs in your captions to a branded domain you control, or to our default schl.in/ short links.

Default shortener

Without configuration, links are passed through verbatim — no shortening. Networks like Twitter handle their own shortening with t.co/....

To enable Schedulin's shortener:

  1. Settings → Workspace → Link shortening.
  2. Toggle Shorten URLs in posts.

After this, every link in a post caption is shortened to schl.in/....

Click tracking

Shortened links capture click counts visible in analytics. Available metrics:

  • Total clicks
  • Clicks by network (where the link was posted)
  • Clicks by post
  • Click-through rate (clicks / impressions)

When not to shorten

  • Twitter / X — already shortens to t.co; double-shortening is wasteful and looks suspicious.
  • Affiliate links — some affiliate networks require unmodified URLs for attribution.

Toggle off per-post in the composer's Link tracking panel.

UTM + shortening

These work together. UTM params are added to the destination URL before shortening. Click-through users land on the long URL with UTM intact.

See UTM parameters.
