Use your own link shortener

Studio: Bitly, Short.io, Rebrandly, YOURLS or Kutt, with your branded short domain.

Open Integrations, the Link shortener tab.

  1. Choose your service and paste its API key (the hint under the field says where to find it).
  2. Optional: your branded short domain as set up in that service (needed for Short.io and Rebrandly). For YOURLS or your own Kutt, also enter its address.
  3. Press Save and test. KolReel creates a test link and shows it, so you know it works.

From then on, the short links in WhatsApp messages, video descriptions, the promo link and the QR code are made with your service and count clicks there. If your service ever fails, KolReel falls back to its own shortener so nothing breaks. Choose KolReel default to switch back.
