How to Automatically Send Emails with Short Links

Short.io provides the integration with Gmail via Zapier. When a new link is shortened, an email is automatically sent to the pre-specified recipients with the pre-specified title and email body.

The advantage is that emails with short branded links reach the recipients in most of the cases. And the integration helps not to send emails manually, the integration makes it automatically.
