And better yet, we can help you make them **branded Subtext short links**!  Our branded link is registered with the phone carriers and **alleviates any carrier filtering while guaranteeing a faster throughput**.If you have your own branded link, great! You can totally use it too!  ### Here's how to brand your links in the New Broadcast tab  There are 2 ways you can brand your links.  1. **Pasting the URL into the copy of your text.** 1. Start by pasting the URL into the body of your text. Once you do that you'll see this symbol appear. Hover over the symbol and you'll see the **Shorten Link** option pop up. Click on this symbol.  ![Screenshot 2024-08-16 at 11.19.27 AM](https://help.joinsubtext.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.19.27%20AM.png?width=450&height=301&name=Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.19.27%20AM.png) 2. Once you click this symbol, your link will automatically be converted to a Subtext branded short link.  2. ** Navigating to the Insert Shortlink button.**  1. Start by navigating to the button left corner of the **New Broadcast** tab and you'll see the **Insert Shortlink** button. Click on this button.  ![Screenshot 2024-08-16 at 11.19.47 AM](https://help.joinsubtext.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.19.47%20AM.png?width=505&height=240&name=Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.19.47%20AM.png) 2. From here, a new window will pop up where you can input your URL and then click **Shorten Link**. From here, your link will then be converted to a Subtext branded short link.  ![Screenshot 2024-08-16 at 11.20.02 AM](https://help.joinsubtext.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.20.02%20AM.png?width=507&height=364&name=Screenshot%202024-08-16%20at%2011.20.02%20AM.png) ### How do I incorporate links within my broadcast? Here’s a couple different ways you can incorporate them. - **Within the body of a text**: You can put a link anywhere in the body of a text and it will appear as the standard branded short link.  - **At the end of your text:** If you put a link as the last line of a broadcast and your subscriber has your contact card saved, the carrier will automatically create a preview of the link that’ll show in line with the text. We highly recommend this experience especially if linking to videos as it makes for a great user experience! \*\* This experience will only work if **only one link is present** in the broadcast. If you've attached any additional media (such as a photo or video) in a broadcast that also has another link included, this counts as 2 links and **the preview will not populate.** ![Screenshot 2024-06-21 at 12.41.02 PM](https://help.joinsubtext.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202024-06-21%20at%2012.41.02%20PM.png?width=445&height=499&name=Screenshot%202024-06-21%20at%2012.41.02%20PM.png) - [Activation Details](https://help.joinsubtext.com/activation-details?hsLang=en) - [Dashboard Navigation](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [The New Broadcast Tab](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-new-broadcast-tab) - [The Inbox](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-inbox) - [The Broadcast Tab](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-broadcast-tab) - [The Audience Tab](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-audience-tab) - [The Campaign Tab](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-campaign-tab) - [The Survey Tab](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#the-survey-tab) - [Reports/Analytics](https://help.joinsubtext.com/dashboard-navigation?hsLang=en#reports-analytics) - [How Tos](https://help.joinsubtext.com/how-tos?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General How Tos](https://help.joinsubtext.com/how-tos?hsLang=en#general-how-tos) - [Automatic Replies](https://help.joinsubtext.com/how-tos?hsLang=en#automatic-replies) - [Segmentation](https://help.joinsubtext.com/how-tos?hsLang=en#segmentation) - [Our Playbooks](https://help.joinsubtext.com/our-playbooks?hsLang=en) - [Grow your Audience](https://help.joinsubtext.com/grow-your-audience?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Marketing](https://help.joinsubtext.com/grow-your-audience?hsLang=en#marketing) - [The Details](https://help.joinsubtext.com/the-details?hsLang=en) - [Customer Support](https://help.joinsubtext.com/customer-support?hsLang=en) [![Logo Knowledge Base](https://help.joinsubtext.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Logo%20Knowledge%20Base.png?width=63&height=63&name=Logo%20Knowledge%20Base.png "Logo Knowledge Base")](http://joinsubtext.com) Subtext Help Center Copyright © 2026, Subtext
