How to Shorten ServiceNow Urls

Import · Aug 22, 2022 · article

Hello ServiceNow Ninjas,

Many times we have seen huge ServiceNow URLs. You can keep on traversing, but it never ends. Check out the below question in the ServiceNow community.

URL becomes too long(beyond 10,000 characters) and gives HTTP error 400

So, with a URL, which is 1000+ characters long, we face many challenges:-

  • It looks weird
  • Sharing it with others can be troublesome
  • Hard to understand
  • Hard to manage(copy, paste & navigate)

This problem of huge URLs is not new, there are many tools available such as Bitly that offer short and manageable URLs. Just like Bitly, we can shorten the URL’s in ServiceNow as well. This is achieved, via Processors.

All the steps to shorten the URLs are - Click Here
