• Custom domain management: Let your agent fetch and display the available custom domains tied to your Short menu account, making branded link creation seamless.
• Personalized link organization: Use your agent to add metadata—such as tags or custom slugs—while creating links, so you can organize and track them more effectively.
• Seamless integration with workflows: Automatically generate short links as part of larger tasks or automations, reducing manual copy-paste and saving time.
