Link is the URL shortener built for alerting. Pages and SMS are tight on characters, so the runbook or dashboard URL Vigil sends needs to be short — and you’d like to know whether anyone clicked it.
What it does
- Short links — compact, collision-resistant codes generated on demand.
- Built for Vigil — Vigil mints shortened links automatically for the URLs it puts in terse channels.
- Click analytics — click-throughs are tracked so you can see what got opened.
- Vanity domains — higher tiers can serve links from their own subdomain.
How it fits
Link is the quiet utility behind clean alerts. You rarely interact with it directly — it just makes the links in your Vigil notifications short, reliable and measurable.
