Best When
Brands that need custom-domain short links with built-in QR code generation and granular analytics.

Use Cases
- • Generate branded trackable short links for marketing campaigns

- • Manage and organize links across multiple custom domains
- • Track click analytics, UTM parameters, and conversion events
Not For
- • Anonymous or one-off URL shortening without branding needs
- • High-volume link creation on free tier (500 links/month cap)
- • Real-time sub-100ms redirect requirements at massive scale

Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Domain verification required before using custom domains — can block automated workflows
- ⚠ Slashtag uniqueness constraint returns 409 on conflict; agents must handle gracefully
- ⚠ QR code generation endpoint is separate from link creation — two API calls needed
- ⚠ Workspace ID required on multi-workspace accounts — agents must track this
