Set Up Automatic Short URLs For Shopee URL

Automatic short URL generation creates shortened links for Shopee affiliate URLs while your content is being processed. The feature uses a verified teleURL credential.

How does this feature work?

The overall flow is:

Shopee affiliate link → AutoForward → teleURL → Short URL

You only need to set up a teleURL credential once. You can then enable, disable, or change the credential at any time.

Important: Setting up the short URL credential is a separate process and does not require a Shopee Affiliate ID. The Affiliate ID is only used when the app processes Shopee affiliate data.

Before you start

Prepare the following:

• An AutoForward task detail with the Affiliate Monetization section.

• A teleURL account, or permission to create one.

• A SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE generated on teleURL.com.

• A stable Internet connection.

1. Open Short URL setup

1. Open the task you want to configure.

2. Open Edit content.

3. Select Affiliate Monetization.

4. Open the Shopee card.

5. Select Setup auto gen shortURL.

If the Shopee configuration is collapsed, enable the Shopee switch to display the options inside the card. This only opens the configuration section; it does not replace the credential setup and does not require an Affiliate ID first.

2. Create a teleURL credential

If you do not have a credential yet, select Create teleURL credential.

Get SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE from teleURL

Follow these steps:

1. Open teleURL.com.

2. Sign in or create a teleURL account.

3. Open Settings.

4. Scroll down to the API management section.

5. Press Generate to create a key.

6. Create or retrieve the SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE.

7. Copy the key and return to the app.

8. Paste the key into the secure input field.

Keep your key secure: Do not share SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE in messages, screenshots, or unsafe storage. The app does not display the secret value again after submission.

Enter the credential in the app

The credential form contains:

• Credential label: A name to help you recognize the credential, for example Main teleURL account.

• SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE: Paste the key from teleURL into the secure input field.

Then press Verify and save.

The app will:

1. Save the credential.

2. Send a verification request to teleURL.

3. Accept the credential only when its status is Available.

4. Clear the secret value from the input after the process finishes.

5. Return to the setup screen and automatically select the new credential.

3. Select a credential

On the Credential step, the app shows only teleURL credentials that have been verified and have an Available status.

1. Tap the credential you want to use.

2. Check the credential label and the last verification time.

3. Press Continue.

Tapping a credential only changes the selection. The app does not move to the next step until you press Continue.

4. Review the credential

On the Review step, check the selected credential before continuing.

• Press Verify credential or Verify again inside the credential card if you want to verify it again.

• The previous raw key cannot be viewed again.

• Press Back to return to credential selection.

• Press Continue to move to confirmation.

5. Confirm the setup

On the Confirm step, review the credential one last time and choose:

• Complete setup for the first setup.

• Update setup when changing the selected credential.

After the save succeeds:

• Short URL generation is enabled.

• The credential ID is linked to the task.

• The app returns to the Affiliate Monetization screen.

• The Shopee card is refreshed and shows the new status immediately.

6. Check the connected status

After a successful connection, the Shopee card shows a Short URL connection section with:

• The credential label.

• The credential status, for example Available.

• The feature status, for example Active.

• The last verification time.

• An Update button.

• A Disconnect button.

The raw key and a masked version of the key are not shown on the card.

Manage the Short URL connection

Update the credential

1. Press Update on the Shopee card.

2. The first screen shows the current connection information.

3. Press Update again to start changing the setup.

4. Select another credential through the three-step flow.

The app does not open the credential picker immediately after you press Update. This lets you review the current status before making changes.

Disable Short URL with Disconnect

When you press Disconnect, the app shows a confirmation dialog. Disconnect will:

• Stop automatic short URL generation.

• Keep the credential so you can enable the feature again quickly.

• Not delete the credential.

Select Cancel to keep the current setup, or Disconnect to confirm that you want to disable the feature.

Enable Short URL again

When the feature is Disabled:

• If the current credential is still Available, press Enable to turn the feature on quickly.

• If the credential is no longer available, the app opens the Update flow so you can choose or create another credential.

Delete a credential

In the credential list, the Delete button appears only when the credential can be deleted.

• A credential that is Active and currently used by the task must be disconnected first, so the Delete button is hidden.

• A credential that is Disabled but still linked to the task is unlinked first and then deleted.

• A credential that is not used by the task can be deleted after confirmation.

Deleting a credential from the app does not delete your teleURL account. To delete the teleURL account itself, use teleURL.com separately.

Common statuses

Status	Meaning	What you should do
Not set up	No credential is linked to the task	Select Setup auto gen shortURL

Troubleshooting

The credential I just created is not visible

1. Check whether the credential screen reported a successful verification.

2. Return to the Credential step.

3. Press Retry to reload the list.

4. Only credentials with an Available status are displayed.

The key cannot be verified

• Check that you copied the correct SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE.

• Generate a new key in teleURL Settings if the previous key has expired or is invalid.

• Create a new credential in the app and press Verify credential.

• The previous raw key cannot be viewed or edited in the app.

The Shopee card did not update after saving

After a successful operation, the app returns to the previous screen and refreshes the Shopee card. If the status is not updated:

1. Wait for the save request to finish.

2. Check your Internet connection.

3. Close and reopen the Affiliate Monetization screen.

4. If the issue continues, open Update and check the credential.

Short URLs are not being generated

Check the following:

• Short URL has an Active status.

• The credential has an Available status.

• The Shopee card is enabled.

• The input URL is a valid Shopee affiliate link.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to enter a Shopee Affiliate ID before setup?

No. You can create and verify a teleURL credential independently of the Shopee Affiliate ID. However, the input data still needs to contain a suitable Shopee affiliate link for a short URL to be generated.

Does the app store or show SECURE_API_KEY_VALUE again?

The app does not show the raw key again after submission. Keep the key secure when you generate and copy it.

Does Disconnect delete the credential?

No. Disconnect only turns off automatic short URL generation. The credential is kept so you can enable the feature again.

Does Delete remove my teleURL account?

No. Delete only removes the credential saved in the app. Your teleURL account remains available on teleURL.com.

Can I switch to another credential?

Yes. Select Update → Update again, choose another credential on the Credential step, and complete the flow.
