Hello,

I’m currently testing sending SMS messages. I would like to send a long link to activate accounts via SMS.

Now I have seen that there is the option to store a URL shortener service in the configuration. This would be very interesting for these links.

I tested it and it looks to me that shortening the links only works if the link is included directly in the text of the SMS, but not if the link is inserted dynamically from a contact field.

Can this be?

Does anyone have experience with this and can tell me if there is a solution?

Thank you very much and best regards

Timo
