Short.cm is good at performing bulk functions, which reached six of them last month. We at Short.cm consider that bulk features are indispensable when it comes to saving time and energy. The ability to handle heavy processes, like shortening 1000 links at once, benefits users.

Bulk features meet the needs of all users. After all, who doesn't want to save time and increase productivity?

Below are the six Short.cm bulk functions of your choice starting from the minor and ending with the major ones.

Deleting short links in bulk saves time on manual URL removal. On the dashboard, select up to 150 rows per page by clicking "Select All" and "Delete." That action deletes all short URLs on the page. Removing several short links is also an available option.

The advantages of using bulk deleting:

  • The bulk delete option is free (Short.cm is the only shortening service where it's free).
  • You have the ability to remove both a pack of links per page and just several URLs.
  • It takes three seconds to delete links.

Archiving is applied when it's necessary to save a link to collect clicks, but not necessary to list it among other short URLs. When a link is archived, it continues to be active. The algorithm of activation is the same as for removal. Selecting URLs and clicking "Archive" performs a desirable action.

Tags on a short URL come in handy when there is a need to create special groups of short links. Further, it ends up in a better and quicker search of a specific link or a group of URLs.

Adding tags in bulk contains 3 steps: clicking "Select All" (or choosing several links), specifying a tag, and adding it.

  • There's no need to add the same tag manually to a long list of links to form a group.
  • It's a quick search for the needed links.

4. Add UTM-tags to a Pack of URLs

Short.cm lets users add utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign, and utm_term in bulk. Just imagine how much time will be saved when specifying tags at one time, not manually adding to each link.

The implementation process is handled via a Google Sheet.

Short.cm has launched a built-in feature of bulk-shortening links using Google Sheets. This avoids creating a mass of short links manually. Use bulk shortening with Google Sheets if you have a document with a list of long links. You need to import a .csv file to a sheet and create short links.
