Late December 2024 Updates

Here is a summary of what changed across Short.io in the second half of December 2024.

Features​

  • Geo-targeting on Hobby plan — Geo-targeting is now available for users on the Hobby plan. Learn more
  • AI assistant chat history — AI assistant conversations are now saved so you can return to previous threads, view past messages, and delete threads you no longer need.
  • Zapier integration widget — A Zapier widget is now available in connection settings, making it easier to set up automations with third-party apps.
  • Statement descriptor suffix — Billing charges from Short.io now include a statement descriptor suffix for easier identification on your bank or credit card statements.

Improvements​

  • Redesigned domain list — The domain list page has been updated with new styling, clearer SSL and domain status indicators, and a repositioned favorite icon.
  • Redesigned folders list — The folders list UI has been refreshed with a new layout and improved card design.
  • New domain-adding flow — Adding a new domain now follows a streamlined, step-by-step process with an improved interface.
  • Phone number field in billing — The billing info section now uses a dedicated phone number input with country code selection and phone verification.
  • AI assistant privacy policy link — The AI assistant panel now includes a link to the privacy policy and an updated text label.
  • Upgrade button hidden for members — Team members who cannot manage billing no longer see the upgrade button.
  • English as fallback language — The landing page now falls back to English when content is not available in the visitor's language.

Fixes​

  • Stats API CORS — Fixed a cross-origin issue that could prevent the statistics API from responding to browser requests.
  • AI assistant error display — Error messages from the AI assistant now appear inside the chat panel instead of elsewhere on the page.
  • Mobile layout for connection editing — Fixed layout issues when adding or editing connections on mobile devices.
  • Notification dot position — Corrected the position of the notification indicator on the account icon.

Prefixes for links created in folders

To match requirements of several platforms and authorities, you can now assign a specific static prefix to a folder, which all links will contain in path.

Example:

mydomain.tld/XmasCampaign/SomeShortLink.

Our recent [guide](/articles/api-reference/Technical questions/how-to-create-short-links-with-prefixes) will follow on how to set a default prefix for a folder.

After that, all new links created within selected folder will have prefix included automatically.

New Feature: Encrypted Links

Now you can generate links that don't reveal destination URL, unless the hash is specified in a path.

Try it: enable secure link creation (by clicking on the highlighted icon) and shorten any URL.

Copy link with the hash included — the listed link on Branded links page will not display the hash, and without this hash, the short link won't redirect. Learn more

New Feature: Verified Tracker

With this new feature, you can create trackable URLs that are compliant with advertising platform policies for transparency.

You can find more details on Verified Tracker in our guide.

Alternative to Non-existing link redirect

You can now create a 404 redirect with all the features of a regular short link!

Try it now — create a short link and set the slug to *.

This way you can generate a customizable 404 redirect with cloaking, geo-targeting, tracking and more! Learn more
