Overview

The Extract & Shorten URLs from a Webpage feature automatically scans a webpage, detects all supported links, and prepares them for bulk URL shortening. Instead of manually copying individual URLs, you simply enter a webpage address and let SPRL find the links for you.

After the links are extracted, you can review them, apply bulk customisation settings, generate shortened URLs, and download the results in a single workflow.

When to Use This Feature

This feature is ideal when you need to shorten multiple links that already exist on a webpage.

How to Extract Links from a Webpage

1. Navigate to Dashboard → Bulk URL Shortener.
2. Select Extract & Shorten Links from a Webpage.
3. Enter the webpage URL you want to scan.
4. Click Find Links.
5. Allow SPRL to scan and extract supported links.
6. Review the extracted URLs.
7. Apply your preferred customisation settings.
8. Generate and download the shortened links.

Processing Workflow

What Happens During Extraction?

After you submit the webpage URL, SPRL performs several automated tasks before generating your short links.

• Reads the webpage.
• Detects supported hyperlinks.
• Extracts available URLs.
• Validates each detected link.
• Prepares the results for bulk customisation.

Customisation Options

Before generating the shortened links, you can apply the same settings to all extracted URLs.

• Select a short domain.
• Configure an expiry date.
• Add UTM campaign parameters.
• Assign custom URL slugs where applicable.

This ensures all generated links follow a consistent configuration.

Downloading the Results

Once the links have been processed, you can download the generated results for future use.

The downloaded file can be used to:

• Share shortened links with your team.
• Import links into marketing campaigns.
• Maintain a record of generated URLs.
• Track analytics for published links.

Benefits of Webpage Extraction

• Eliminates manual copy-and-paste work.
• Processes multiple webpage links in one operation.
• Automatically validates extracted URLs.
• Supports bulk customisation before generation.
• Reduces the risk of missing links.
• Saves time when working with large webpages.

Best Practices

• Use the full webpage URL, including https://.
• Review the extracted links before generating short URLs.
• Apply consistent campaign settings to all extracted links.
• Download and verify the results before publishing them.
• Monitor analytics after sharing the generated short links.
• Rescan the webpage if its content has been updated with new links.

Troubleshooting

No links were found

Verify that the webpage URL is correct and publicly accessible. If the page contains no supported hyperlinks, there may be no links available for extraction.

Some links were not extracted

Certain links may not be available during scanning because of the webpage structure or dynamically loaded content. Review the webpage and add any missing URLs manually if required.

The webpage cannot be scanned

Ensure the webpage is online, publicly accessible, and not temporarily unavailable before attempting the scan again.

Can I customise extracted links?

Yes. After the extraction process is complete, you can configure supported options such as the short domain, expiry date, UTM tags, and custom URL slugs before generating the shortened links.
