Custom Short Links for DayClerk Landing Pages

··2 min read

Pro and Agency users can now claim a branded short URL for any landing page and share it anywhere.

Every DayClerk landing page has a URL that looks like dayclerk.com/your-name/c/spring-drop-2026-fresh-kicks. It's descriptive, but it's not something you'd say out loud, drop in a bio link, or hand off to a customer at an event.

Short links fix that. Pro and Agency users can now claim a custom short URL for any landing page — something like dayclerk.ai/spring-sale or dayclerk.ai/petweek — and share it anywhere. The link redirects instantly to the full campaign page, and segment targeting still works (dayclerk.ai/petweek?s=... routes to the right audience variant).

The alias is yours to choose. If it's taken, the system suggests alternatives. You can change it later (with a warning that old links will break), and remove it entirely if you no longer need it.

It lives under Page URL Slug in the editor settings panel — same place you manage the page slug — so URL management is in one spot.

Why It Matters

Campaign links get shared in emails, social bios, printed materials, and conversations. A short, branded URL looks intentional. It's easier to remember, easier to type, and signals that the page was built for the audience receiving it — not just auto-generated.

User Flow

  1. Open a landing page in the editor → gear icon → Page URL Slug section
  2. Short Link subsection at the bottom of that bucket
  3. Type desired short code into the dayclerk.ai/ [field] row
  4. System validates in real time (400ms debounce)
  5. If available → green ✓ → click Set
  6. If taken → red error + 3 suggestions (clickable — auto-fill + re-check)
  7. After Set → row switches to display mode: dayclerk.ai/code [Edit] [Copy]

Editing and Removing a Short Link

  • Edit → re-enters edit mode (pre-filled with current code); shows break-links warning if draft differs
  • Cancel → exits edit mode without saving
  • Remove → deletes the short code (small link below the row in display mode)
