Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to your Short Menu account and pulls all verified custom domains. When you ask the agent to create a link, you can specify which domain to use or let the agent choose the one most relevant to the campaign. If no domain is specified, it defaults to the primary domain set in your account settings. You can also run a workflow to audit your domains to ensure they are all active and routing correctly. The agent handles the mapping between the short code and the custom domain automatically through the API.
Yes. Use the update link destination action to change the target url. This is a key feature for marketers who want to change a promotion without updating the link in a social media bio or a printed qr code. Ceven can automate this by watching a google sheet or a calendar and updating the Short Menu destination the moment a date passes. The short link remains the same for the end user while the destination changes instantly in the backend.
Ceven pulls click data directly from the Short Menu analytics endpoint. You can set up a recurring workflow that pulls statistics for a group of links every morning and sends a summary to slack. The agent can filter this data by date range or specific tags. Because the data comes from Short Menu, it includes the raw click count and basic metadata. You can then use Ceven to compare these numbers against other data sources like your website analytics to find the true conversion rate.
Link creation is subject to the rate limits of your Short Menu subscription tier. For most users, this is not an issue, but for high volume accounts, the API may return a 429 error if too many links are created in a single minute. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy. If the agent hits a rate limit, it will pause and retry the request automatically. If you are running a massive bulk import, the agent will space out the requests to stay within your tier limits.
Absolutely. Ceven can assign tags during the creation process or add them to existing links. This allows you to group links by product, region, or campaign. You can tell the agent to find every link tagged with winter sale and update their destination to a new clearance page. This makes managing hundreds of links possible without needing a manual spreadsheet. The agent can also create new tags on the fly based on the context of the url it is shortening.
Yes. You can create a workflow that searches for links based on a specific tag or date range and then loops through them to call the delete action. For example, you can tell Ceven to delete all Short Menu links tagged as test that are older than thirty days. The agent will first pull the list of matching links and then execute the deletion for each one. We recommend running a list action first to verify the targets before triggering a bulk delete.
Short Menu provides basic link management, but password protection is typically a feature of higher tier plans. If your account has this enabled, the agent can pass the password parameter during the link creation process. If you are on a free plan, this parameter will be ignored by the Short Menu API and the link will be public. You can check your plan capabilities in the Short Menu dashboard to see if you have access to advanced link restrictions.
Ceven uses secure API token authentication to communicate with Short Menu. Your token is encrypted at rest and is never shared with other users or exposed in plain text within the workflow logs. Only the agent has access to the token to make requests on your behalf. You can rotate your API token in the Short Menu settings at any time, which will immediately disconnect Ceven until you provide the new token. This ensures you have total control over who can manage your links.
