FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Shorten Article Links:

What do I need to set up?

You set up an editorial table with article status, tracking URL, and owner chat ID. You choose the short-link domain and connect your shortener and chat.

Will this change my tracking URL?

No. The Agent uses the URL you provide, including its tracking details, and checks that the shortener saved that exact destination.

What happens if the link or handoff fails?

Your editorial row shows Needs correction when the link cannot be created or verified. If chat fails after saving a tested link, the row shows Handoff failed so an editor can send it.

What happens when the Agent is unsure?

It stops and asks you. The Agent does not guess when it reaches a decision you have not approved.

Can I review its work?

Yes. Every run creates a plain-language log that you can review and export. Logs are kept for twelve months.

What happens if I cancel?

The Agent stops at the end of the billing month and its tool connections are removed. Your run logs remain available for twelve months.
