Best practices for using URL Shorteners in goHappy in order to reduce Spam occurrences
Important Notice: URL Shorteners and SMS Deliverability
Overview
To ensure the successful delivery of your text messages, it’s crucial to be aware of how certain URL shorteners can affect your message’s reputation. Mobile carriers have stringent spam filters to protect their users from unsolicited messages. Using certain URL shorteners may trigger these filters, causing your dedicated phone number to be marked as spam.
URL Shorteners to Avoid
To prevent your messages from being flagged or blocked, avoid using the following URL shorteners in your text messages:
- tinyURL
- bit.ly
- shorturl
- rb.gy
- is.gd
Using any of the above can increase the likelihood of your messages being marked as spam by mobile carriers. As a result, your dedicated phone number may be compromised, affecting your overall messaging deliverability.

For a smoother experience and to avoid any disruptions in your messaging campaigns, we recommend using short.io for your URL shortening needs. Short.io is less likely to be flagged by mobile carriers, ensuring higher deliverability rates for your messages.
