October product updates

A visual editor for Posts, link exports from domain settings, domain transfers between organizations, US bank account payments and conversion totals in the links table — plus a friendlier mobile dashboard, AI assistant upgrades, and a long list of fixes.

Features​

  • Visual editor for Posts — write post bodies in a WYSIWYG editor, now the default, with a formatting toolbar, tables, and live rendering of formulas, callouts and diagrams. Markdown mode is still one click away.
  • Link export in domain settings — a new Link export tab lets you download every link on a domain or send the export to your S3 bucket.
  • Transfer a domain to another organization — move a domain to any organization; the receiving organization accepts the transfer before it completes.
  • Invite people who already have an account — existing Short.io users can join your organization from an invite without setting a new password.
  • US bank account (ACH) payments — add and verify a US bank account as a payment method.
  • Conversions in the links table — see total and average conversions for each link, with conversion summaries respecting your chosen period and time zone.
  • Ask the AI assistant from global search — global search now doubles as the entry point to the AI assistant.

Improvements​

  • On phones, dialogs open as bottom sheets, and the link shortener and support button sit in a sticky bottom bar.
  • Dialog titles and action buttons stay pinned while you scroll in the link-created, folder, filter and invite dialogs.
  • The clicks chart legend shows only visible series, with a picker to choose which ones to display.
  • AI tag suggestions now appear next to the tags already used on your domain.
  • Press Enter in the domain switcher to jump to the first matching domain.
  • Tabs have a refreshed look, and tab bars that overflow can be scrolled with a mouse.
  • You can rate AI assistant answers, and the assistant can now pass you to a human when it can't help.
  • New users signing up with a verified large-company email address skip phone verification.
  • Clicks from the Google app are now labelled "Google App", and Bytespider is counted as a bot.
  • Link bundles now use your domain theme's page background and hover colours.
  • The pricing page shows link-creation rate limits and lets you size Enterprise add-ons.
  • SSL certificates renew on the schedule recommended by the certificate authority.
  • Sign-in is stricter: revoked credentials, banned accounts and disabled SAML configurations are now refused everywhere.

Fixes​

  • Editing a link no longer shows a false "URL can't be empty" error, only sends the slug when you changed it, and keeps quick actions and editor tabs working.
  • Save & Close in the link-created dialog works on the first click even with a tag still being typed.
  • Tag tooltips no longer cover the AI tag suggestions.
  • Geo-targeting clears a stale country error after a template fills in countries.
  • Publishing a QR code keeps the design from the editor.
  • The domain auto-renew toast shows the right message when you turn auto-renew off.
  • The delete-domain confirmation accepts the domain name in any case and with stray spaces.
  • Your own domain's hostname is cleaned of https://, paths and trailing slashes when added.
  • The free subdomain field validates input and lets you retry a name that is taken.
  • Registry-premium domains are no longer offered as available, and premium domain renewals up to $1,000 go through without repeated charges.
  • Payment errors when buying a domain are now shown instead of failing silently.
  • Users who already verified their phone are no longer asked again.
  • Signed-in users aren't sent back to the sign-up page by browser history.
  • Organization members without a domain land on the domains list instead of an empty page.
  • Cancelling a passkey sign-in no longer shows an error.
  • Domain Connect setup and the Slack connection link work again.
  • Universal links are served on the www. version of a custom domain.
  • Expired links stay expired, and the fallback URL is only used for app links.
  • An internal tracking marker no longer leaks into destination URLs.
  • Edited posts show their changes right away.
  • Bulk link creation no longer reports successfully saved batches as failed, and an embedded Google Sheet that fails to load shows a fallback.
  • SSO works for domains with non-Latin characters, and SSL certificates are issued for domains entered in uppercase.
  • The statistics API returns 401 for an unknown API key instead of a server error.
  • Fixed blank toast messages, a crash on older browsers, and a crash on the Arabic sign-up page.
