How to Use URL Shortener Plug-in?
An URL shortener shortens your URLs, making them more shareable and ensuring that you get the right message out to your audience without taking up too much room in your social posts.
In RecurPost, you can shorten your URLs using Google Firebase and Bitly.
If you want to shorten the URLs only for specific posts, you can do that while adding the posts or while sharing the one-off post. You can shorten the URL using Google Firebase Or Bitly (Please note that to use Bitly, you will have to link your Bitly account with RecurPost).
If you want to set up a URL Shortening automation to shorten all your URLs, you can do that using the URL Shortener Plug-in.
To do so, you need to go to Plug-ins and click on the Manage option, which you can see under URL Shortner.
Then, click + Attach new profiles and choose between Google Firebase or Bitly (make sure to link your Bitly account if you select Bitly).
Once you’ve chosen your URL shortener and selected the social accounts you want to apply it to, the setup is complete! This ensures that all URLs shared through these accounts will be automatically shortened.
Note: Please note that the URL Shortening plug-in only applies to recurring schedules when using library. For one-off posts, URL Shortening is to be done manually.

The values you added in the custom field may not appear while creating a post. However, they should be available on your social media accounts once your post is published using RecurPost.
RecurPost will count the characters in your custom fields, whereas social platforms will count the characters of your custom field value.
