URL shortener
URL shortener with analytics and QR codes
Turn a long link into a short one that is easy to share, choose its text and see how many people open it, from where and on which device. Sign up on the portal, add credit and start right away.
Benefits
Get started on your own
Sign up on the customer portal, add credit and create your first link right away, without waiting for a sales rep.
Count people, not bots
Visits from bots and the previews apps generate when they display a link are neither counted nor charged.
Know what worked
See visits to each link by day, location, device and source app, so you can compare your messages and campaigns.
What’s included
Short links your way
Create short links one by one in the portal, with the text you choose, and manage them afterwards: change where they point, give them an expiry date or pause the ones you no longer use.
Text of your choice
Choose how the link ends or let one be generated for you.
Change the destination
Edit where the link goes after you create it.
Expiry date
Optional, for promotions that end on a set date.
Pause and restore
Pause and reactivate a link, or delete it and bring it back if you need it.
QR code
Download it as PNG or SVG from the portal.
Paste the long link, choose the text at the end of the short link (for example, h0b.co/feria) or let one be generated, and share it wherever you like: in an SMS, an email, WhatsApp, social media or print. If the destination changes, you update it without resending the link.
Every link has its own QR code, which you download from the portal as a PNG image or as an SVG file for print.
To protect the people who receive your links, h0b.co, Hablame’s shared short domain, does not accept link text that imitates brands, banks or government bodies.
Visit analytics
See how many times each link was opened and by how many different people, from where, on which device and from which app they came.
Visits and people
Total clicks and unique visitors.
Location
Country, state or region and city.
Device
Phone, tablet or computer; operating system and browser.
Traffic source
WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and more.
CSV export
A link’s visit history, from the portal.
Analytics are shown by day or by hour; by country, state or region and city; by device type (phone, tablet or computer), operating system and browser; and by where the visit came from: WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and others.
Your account summary compares each period with the previous one, and in the portal you can download a link’s visit history as a CSV file for your own reports.
Bot visits and link previews (the ones WhatsApp, Telegram and other apps generate when they display a link) reach the destination like any other visit, but they are not counted in your analytics or charged.
API and bulk creation
Create short links from your own systems, one at a time or many in a single request.
API
Create and manage links from your system.
In bulk
Up to 1,000 links in a single request.
Per-link errors
One link with an error doesn’t stop the rest.
With the Hablame API your system creates the link the moment it needs one, for example when it issues an invoice or an order. To create many at once, you send them in bulk, up to 1,000 per request: if one has an error, the rest are still created and you know which one failed.
The documentation is at developers.hablame.co. QR codes are downloaded from the portal.
Your own domain
Put your brand’s name on your short links so the people who receive them trust them.
Your brand on the link
The link shows your domain, not a generic one.
We set it up with you
Our team walks you through the setup.
It is set up on request: you contact us, our team configures it with you, and you confirm the domain is yours with a setting in the panel where you manage it (its DNS settings). From then on you create your links on your own domain.
Step by step

In practice
Use cases
SMS promotions
A short link takes up fewer characters in the message and tells you how many people reached the offer.
Payment links
Payment reminders with a short link to the payment page, with an expiry date if the offer ends.
Print with QR codes
Flyers, packaging and point-of-sale displays with a QR code you can point somewhere else later without reprinting.
Order tracking
Your system creates a link to each order’s status over the API, and you include it in the confirmation message.
Industries
Pricing
URL Shortener pricing
You pay for each link you create and for each visit by a person, from your account’s prepaid balance. Bot visits and app link previews are not charged.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to talk to sales to get started?
No. Sign up on the customer portal, add credit and create your first link right away, with no need to wait for anyone to activate your account. If you want to use your own domain or create links from your systems, we’ll help you.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, on request. Our team sets it up with you, and you confirm the domain is yours with a setting in the panel where you manage it.
Do bot visits count in my analytics?
No. Bot visits and the previews apps like WhatsApp or Telegram generate when they display a link are neither counted nor charged: your analytics reflect people.
Can I change where a link I already sent points to?
Yes. Edit the destination in the portal and the same short link starts pointing to the new page. You can also pause it or give it an expiry date.
Can I choose the link text?
Yes, from 3 to 32 characters, or let one be generated. h0b.co, Hablame’s shared short domain, does not accept link text that imitates brands, banks or government bodies, to protect the people who receive your links.
Where can I use short links?
Anywhere: copy the link and paste it into your SMS, emails, WhatsApp messages, social posts or print, with its QR code if you need one.
How is it charged?
For each link you create and for each visit by a person, from your account’s prepaid balance. Bot visits and link previews are not charged.
