Automate T2M URL Shortener With Make: 4 Modules, Zero Code

What you can automate

What can the T2M URL Shortener Make integration do for you?

The T2M URL Shortener Make integration lets Make create, look up, edit and remove branded short links in your T2M account for you. You build a scenario, which is the automation you assemble in Make as a chain of modules, and each module is one brick of it: here, one of the 4 things T2M can do.

Links ready the moment content exists. A scenario can start from another app, such as a spreadsheet row or a form entry, and hand the long URL to Create a Branded Short URL. The branded link comes back as a bundle, one item passed to the next module, so you can post it or store it right away.

A tidy link library. When a landing page moves, Find a Branded Short URL locates the existing link and Update a Branded Short URL points it somewhere new, so printed or shared links should keep working (the module name suggests the link itself is edited; check which fields it offers once connected). Delete a Branded Short URL removes the ones a finished campaign no longer needs.

What it does not do. T2M has no trigger in Make, so nothing starts on its own when a link is clicked or created. The first module always comes from another app or from Make's schedule. There is also no Make an API Call module for this app. The official doc is marked as AI-generated, so check important details against T2M itself.

Connect

How do you connect T2M URL Shortener to Make?

01
Generate your API key in T2M
In your T2M dashboard, open API and Integrations, go to API Keys and click Generate New API Key. Copy the key shown on screen, along with your API Secret, and keep both at hand.
02
Add a module and create the connection
In your scenario, add any T2M URL Shortener module and click Create a connection. A connection is your T2M account linked to Make once, then reused by every T2M module. The Connection name field is optional.
03
Paste your credentials and save
Enter the API Key and API Secret you copied, or follow the instructions Make shows on screen, then confirm. The module can now reach your links, and the connection appears in the list for the next modules.

First scenario

Build your first scenario with T2M URL Shortener

GoalWhen a new long URL shows up in another app, Make turns it into a branded T2M short link.

01
Create the scenario
Open the Scenarios page, create a new scenario and click the +. Pick the app that holds your long URLs, a sheet or a form for example, and set up its module first.
02
Add the T2M action
Click the + on the right of that first module, search T2M URL Shortener and choose Create a Branded Short URL. Select your connection or create it as shown above.
03
Map the long URL
Fill the module fields by mapping the long URL from the first module. Make offers the data it received, so you click the value instead of typing it.
04
Test with Run once
Click Run once. Make runs the scenario one time and shows the bundles each module received. Check that a new branded link now exists in T2M.
05
Schedule and switch it on
Set the schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default, then switch the scenario on. Each module execution counts as one operation on your Make plan.

Modules

Every T2M URL Shortener module in Make

T2M URL Shortener gives you 4 modules. For each one: what it does for you, when to reach for it, and what to watch out for.

T2M URL Shortener1

Create a Branded Short URL

ActionIn the docs only

You get a fresh branded short link in your T2M account, returned to the scenario so the next module can publish, email or store it. It is the module most scenarios with T2M are built around.

When to use it

a product page or a campaign URL is added in another app and needs a clean link before anyone shares it.

Watch out

run it with Run once on a test URL first, since every run creates a new link.

T2M URL Shortener2

Delete a Branded Short URL

ActionIn the docs only

This one removes a branded short link from T2M, which keeps your account free of links that point nowhere. It works on one link at a time, so it usually follows a search that identifies which link to drop.

When to use it

a promotion has ended and its links should stop existing.

Watch out

treat a deletion as final, since the doc describes no way to undo it, and test on a throwaway link.

T2M URL Shortener3

Find a Branded Short URL

SearchIn the docs only

Looking up a link you already made gives the scenario its details without creating a duplicate. As a search module, it can return zero, one or several bundles, and each one travels on to the next module separately.

When to use it

before an update or a delete, to hand the right link to the action.

Watch out

with zero results the modules after it do nothing, so read the output of Run once.

T2M URL Shortener4

Update a Branded Short URL

ActionIn the docs only

As its name says, it edits a branded link that already exists. Once connected, check which settings Make lists: if the destination is one of them, the short address people already have can point to a new page, with no reprint.

When to use it

a landing page has moved and the old short link must follow it.

Watch out

place Find a Branded Short URL before it, so the update lands on the intended link.

FAQ

T2M URL Shortener and Make: common questions

01Is the T2M URL Shortener Make integration free?

Yes on the Make side: T2M URL Shortener is a standard app, available from the Free plan. That plan allows 2 active scenarios, a minimum of 15 minutes between scheduled runs and 5 minutes of execution per run. Paid plans lower the interval to 1 minute and remove the cap on active scenarios. On the T2M side, you need a subscription that includes API access, and its price is set by T2M, not Make.

02What does it take to connect T2M URL Shortener to Make?

You need a registered T2M account with an active plan that includes API access, plus the API Key and API Secret generated from the API and Integrations section of your dashboard. In Make, add a T2M module, click Create a connection, give it a name if you like, and paste both credentials. The connection is then reused by the other 3 modules of the app. If the connection fails, check first that your T2M plan really includes API access.

03Can a T2M URL Shortener scenario start on its own?

Not from T2M, because the app has no trigger in Make. Your scenario starts either from another app's trigger, such as a new row or a new form entry, or from Make's schedule on the first module, every 15 minutes by default. After that, the T2M modules work on whatever data that first step hands them, which means the order never changes: another app or the clock first, T2M second. A form tool or a spreadsheet works well as that first step.

04What if a T2M URL Shortener module is missing in Make?

It depends on what you need. Make offers 4 T2M modules: create, find, update and delete a branded short URL. There is no Make an API Call module for this app, so anything outside those 4 has no generic workaround inside the T2M app. Another app that covers the missing step, or the help form on this page, is the way forward. The official doc is AI-generated, so confirm any detail with T2M.

05Make or n8n: which fits T2M URL Shortener better?

It depends on where your team already builds. In Make, T2M gives you 4 ready modules that cover the full life of a branded link, usable from the Free plan with no code. If your other automations already run in n8n, check whether a T2M node exists there before splitting your work across two tools. Pick the platform where the rest of your process lives, and compare features on the dedicated comparison page.
