Zapier
Create S.EE short links in Zapier workflows
Zapier connects apps into automated workflows called Zaps. Zapier has no S.EE app, but you can call the S.EE API with Webhooks by Zapier. For example, you can shorten the link of every new RSS item or spreadsheet row, then post it or save it somewhere else.
Webhooks by Zapier is a premium feature. It is available on Zapier's Professional, Team, and Enterprise plans, not on Free.
Get your API key
Copy your API key from Tools > API Token.
Add the S.EE step
- Create a Zap and set up a trigger that provides the URL you want to shorten
- Add an action step and choose Webhooks by Zapier
- Set Event to POST
- Fill in the step:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| URL | https://s.ee/api/v1/shorten |
| Payload Type | JSON |
| Data | See the table below |
| Headers | Key Authorization, value: your API key |
Data takes one key and value per row:
| Key | Value | Required |
|---|---|---|
target_url | The URL to shorten, mapped from your trigger | Yes |
domain | s.ee, or another domain you've added to S.EE, such as go.example.com | Yes |
custom_slug | A custom slug | No |
title | A title for the link | No |
- Test the step
Don't share your API key publicly.
Use the short link
S.EE returns JSON:
{
"code": 200,
"message": "Success",
"data": {
"short_url": "https://s.ee/example",
"slug": "example",
"custom_slug": ""
}
}The short link is data.short_url. After the test, pick that field from the step's output when you map data into later steps, such as a social post or a spreadsheet column.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| 401 error | Check the Authorization header and your API key |
| 400 error | Check that Payload Type is JSON and Data has both target_url and domain |
| Domain error | The domain must be s.ee or a domain you've added to S.EE |
