How do I create branded links in Google Sheets?

Rebrandly has a Google Sheets add-on to shorten links within a Google spreadsheet.

This add-on works best when importing fewer than 1,000 links. For longer lists, we recommend exporting your sheet to a CSV file and using the bulk upload method, which is faster for high-volume link creation.

Requirements:

  • A custom domain in a Rebrandly workspace.

  • An API key from your settings.

  • Available links in your account based on your subscription plan limits. Check your limits by clicking Usage in the top navigation bar.

To create branded links in Google Sheets:

  1. Go to the Rebrandly listing in the Google Workspace Marketplace.

  2. Click Install and follow Google's confirmation steps.
    ​

  3. When the installation is complete, create a new empty Google Sheet.

    Do not open a document with your links in it. All data will be deleted and overwritten.

  4. Click Extensions in the menu bar.
    ​

  5. Click Rebrandly.

  6. Click Make this a Rebrandly Bulk Links sheet.

  7. Click Yes to confirm the sheet is empty.
    ​

  8. You'll see that new fields will be added to the spreadsheet, and a menu panel will open on the right.

  9. Paste a Rebrandly API key into the first field. You can generate an API key in your Rebrandly account settings. For more details, see How do I create a Rebrandly API key?
    ​

  10. In the menu panel, click Sync API key with sheet. This will retrieve your workspaces and domains from Rebrandly.
    ​

  11. In the panel, select the workspace where you want to create your links.

  12. Select the domain you would like to use for your branded links.
    ​

  13. Paste the URLs to be shortened in the Destinations LInks column. These can include UTM parameters. This information is required. If https is left out, we'll assume the http protocol.
    ​

  14. To customize the back half of each branded link, enter the unique back half for each link in the Slashtag column. You can leave this blank for Rebrandly to generate a unique random string for you.

  15. To help identify your links in Rebrandly, you can also add titles to them. This is also optional.
    ​

  16. Select the rows of links you would like to shorten and click Rebrand selected rows.
    ​

  17. The branded links will appear in the Shortened column. If there are problems with any of them, an error will appear in red in the next column.
    ​

You can now copy and share your links!
