Smart links

Link shortening is one of the features provided in Zoho MarketingHub exclusively to enhance marketers' convenience . Short links are preferred for marketing as you can easily send them in various forms like email, tweets and SMS. Moreover, using a short link avoids the tedious job of copying huge links multiple times and reduces the chances of link copy-paste errors. You can share, manage and analyze your short links.

If you want to explore this feature further, you have to associate a custom domain relevant to your product or brand. Let us see more in detail about associating a custom domain and getting it verified before you can start generating smart links.
