Using the Shorten URL option for event locations

Enabling the Shorten URL option replaces your event's location link with a Calendarlink short URL. This allows you to change the destination web address later, and attendees' calendars will automatically redirect to the new link.

When you add a location URL to your event, you can enable the Shorten URL option to replace your standard link with a Calendarlink short URL. This is especially useful for virtual meetings or shifting venues, because it allows you to update the destination web address at any time. Attendees will automatically be redirected to the new link when they click the URL in their calendars.

How to enable a shortened location URL

  1. Create a new event or edit an existing one.

  2. Enter your web address into the location URL field.

  3. Enable the Shorten URL option.

  4. Save your event.

Important: If you need to change the destination later, simply edit the original URL in your event settings. The proxy link in your attendees' calendars will remain the same but will instantly redirect to the new destination.
