Create a short link
To create a short link, open the link details view by clicking on the link you want to shorten. After that click on the 3 dots on the top right to open the link submenu. Then click on "Enable redirection". A new section below the original link URL will appear where you can see the new shortened link.
By default the URL slug (i.e. the part after webcrate.deta.dev/r/) will be the ID of the link and can be changed to anything you want by clicking on the ID/URL and entering something different.
Meta Tags
Shortened links will use meta tags to display the link title, description and image in link previews on social media apps like Twitter and messaging apps like Telegram. You can change them by simply editing the links title and description in the link details view. Here's how that would look:
