Custom slugs

A slug is the part of the short link after the domain: in go.acmecoffee.com/menu, the slug is menu.

  • Slugs are unique per domain. Two clients can both have /menu on their own domains.
  • Letters, numbers, hyphens and underscores. Case does not matter for matching, but the slug keeps the case you typed for display.
  • Leave the slug empty and Anchorpost generates a short random one.
  • Changing a slug later changes the URL; anything already printed or posted with the old slug stops working. The editor warns you before you save.

Imported links keep the slug they had at Bitly or Switchy, so existing material keeps working once the domain points at Anchorpost. See Import from Bitly.
