How do I create a Dub short link?
Short answer: You can create dub short link in Dub by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself.

No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Create Dub Short Link.
What does the Create Dub Short Link action do in Dub?
Shortens a URL with optional custom slug, branded domain, expiry, geo-targeting, and tags. For "auto-generate trackable campaign links per recipient" workflows or for branded URL distribution at scale.
What inputs does Create Dub Short Link require?
Required: Destination URL. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Dub returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Dub returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Create Dub Short Link support batch operations?
Run Create Dub Short Link inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Dub's rate limits.
