Smart Replace

Available now
Smart Replace tab inside Bulk Link Builder displaying pasted HTML content with detected URLs highlighted and checkboxes to select which links to shorten

Who this is for

This page is for users handling email content, landing-page fragments, CMS exports, or pasted HTML where many existing URLs need to become trackable short links. Smart Replace activates automatically inside Bulk Link Builder (/app/bulk-link-builder) when you paste content that looks like prose or HTML rather than a plain URL list.

Before you start

  • Bring the raw content you want to update.
  • Decide which URLs should remain unchanged and which should become short links.
  • Gather any shared defaults such as domain, UTM values, tags, or expiry settings.
  • Use the current default domain or an active branded domain for replacements. 2s.gg is legacy-only and is not available for newly generated replacement links.

What to do — Replace URLs inside pasted content

  1. Open Bulk Link Builder (/app/bulk-link-builder) and paste the content or raw HTML into the input area. Smart Replace mode activates automatically when the input looks like prose or markup rather than a list of URLs.
  2. Let the tool detect URLs and review the extracted list carefully.
  3. Select the URLs you want to shorten and leave non-campaign URLs untouched.
  4. Configure the shared defaults for the replacement run.
  5. Create the links, inspect the replacement result, and copy or export the updated output.

Use it well — Content replacement best practices

  • Treat detection as a review step, not an automatic approval step. A URL discovered in content is not automatically a URL you should shorten.
  • Keep the original source nearby until you validate the updated content. Replacement workflows are faster, but they should still be reviewed before distribution.
  • Use Smart Replace when the content already exists. Use Campaign Link Factory when you are building campaign rows from scratch.
