Question 1

What is Roo and what are smart shortlinks?

Accepted Answer

Roo is a smart URL shortener built for automation professionals. Unlike basic link shorteners, Roo lets you add logic to your links — scheduled redirects, click-count-based routing, webhooks, custom domains, and more.

Question 2

How does Roo integrate with Make.com, n8n, and Zapier?

Accepted Answer

Roo has a native Make.com app that lets you create, edit, and manage smart shortlinks directly within your Make scenarios. Our n8n nodes and Zapier app are coming soon! In the meantime, you can use Roo's REST API or webhooks to integrate with any platform.

Question 3

Can I use my own domain for short links?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Roo supports custom branded domains. You can connect your own subdomain (e.g., go.yourbrand.com) to create branded short links.

Question 4

What is a scheduled redirect?

Accepted Answer

A scheduled redirect automatically changes where your shortlink points based on a date and time you set. No manual intervention needed — Roo handles the switch automatically.

Question 5

How does click-count-based redirect work?

Accepted Answer

Click-count redirect lets you change the destination URL after a certain number of clicks. Perfect for scarcity-based campaigns, limited-time offers, or A/B testing.

Question 6

Can Roo send webhook notifications on link clicks?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Roo can fire a webhook every time someone clicks your shortlink, sending real-time click data to any endpoint without consuming Make.com operations.

Question 7

Does Roo support QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Roo generates smart QR codes that carry all the logic of your smart shortlinks — scheduled redirects, click-count routing, webhooks, and custom domains.

Question 8

Is there a browser extension for Roo?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Roo offers a Chrome extension that lets you shorten any URL with one click right from your browser, with custom domain support.
