For each Advocacy site, you can set a default URL from our list of URL Shortener partners. You can select an advocacy site and set a default URL shortener to that site. While publishing content on your advocacy site, the shortener is selected automatically. Once your post including a link is published, the link gets shortened with the help of the selected URL shortener that you have set with your advocacy site. Additionally, you can create a reporting widget to track the URL shortener.
