Google Link Shortener

Yes. Google discontinued goo.gl in 2019. Flyn offers everything goo.gl did, and much more, including custom domains, deep analytics, and A/B testing.

Yes. Paste any Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, or Drive link and Flyn will create a short, trackable URL.

Yes. Shorten long Google Maps URLs into memorable links like flyn.to/office-map for sharing directions.

Yes. Flyn simply redirects to the original Google URL. All sharing permissions you set in Google remain unchanged.

Old goo.gl links stopped redirecting in August 2025. You cannot migrate them, but you can create new Flyn short links for all your Google resources going forward.

Yes. Drive file URLs (drive.google.com/file/d/ID/view) are long, opaque, and impossible to remember. Flyn turns them into clean short links like flyn.to/whitepaper-2026 you can paste into emails, decks, and tweets without exposing the underlying file ID.

Yes. Flyn redirects to the underlying Docs URL, Google enforces permissions on its side, not at the redirect layer. Change a doc from public to view-only, restricted, or anyone-with-link at any time and the same short URL keeps working under the new permission level.

Flyn counts every click to your Google Forms URL, with the country, device, browser, and referrer breakdown on Pro. For per-respondent identification, combine this with the Form's built-in "collect email" setting. Flyn answers "where are clicks coming from"; the Form answers "who actually submitted."

Yes. Calendar event URLs (calendar.google.com/event?eid=ID) shorten and track normally. Event hosts use this in launch announcements and email blasts to measure how many recipients click through to the event before the RSVP deadline, a leading indicator of attendance.

Yes. The Gmail compose URL (mail.google.com/mail/?view=cm&to=...&su=...&body=...) is technically a long URL with pre-filled fields and shortens like any other. This is great for "email us" CTAs on a static site or printed material, the recipient clicks once and Gmail opens with the right fields populated.

Generally no, most Workspace deployments allow common shorteners by default. A few security-hardened orgs whitelist domains, in which case you can use a Flyn Pro custom domain (e.g. links.yourbrand.com) so the destination resolves under your own corporate hostname rather than a generic shortener.

Yes. Pages on sites.google.com, including embedded iframes pointing to Drive, Docs, or Forms, can all be shortened. Use Flyn links in the visible navigation to clean up long Sites URLs while leaving the embedded iframes untouched.

No. Flyn is a full URL shortener that works with any link: Google, your own website, YouTube, Etsy, affiliate links, PDFs, anything with a URL. This page just shows the Google use case. Every feature here (click analytics, editable destinations, branded domains, QR codes) applies to every link you shorten.
