How to set up ClickMeter URL Shortener integration

Modified on: Thu, 5 Jan, 2023 at 10:21 AM

URL shortener integrations enable Siteimprove to access the URL shortener data. The ClickMeter integration allows you to see data from your URL shortener within the Siteimprove CMS plugin.

The URL shortener integration helps:

  • Give users an overview of digital content assets and their dependencies when managing their digital assets.
  • Check if unpublishing a page will have an impact on short URLs linked to that page.
  • Indicate different usage of the page.
  • Indicate digital assets that may be relevant to another department’s material.

Note: You need to be a Siteimprove Account Owner or Administrator to add the ClickMeter URL shortener integration. You will also need a ClickMeter API key. For further information on this see the ClickMeter API Documentation.
Siteimprove is happy to help with questions regarding configuring the integration. Siteimprove does not provide support or product help for the third-party software with which you are connecting.

Once you have added the ClickMeter connection, data from your URL shortener will be visible within the Siteimprove CMS plugin. You can then use the plugin to get an overview of all digital content assets and check if unpublishing a page will have an impact on short URLs linked to a page.

URL shortener data can be found in the following two locations within the Siteimprove CMS plugin:

  • On the page details under the “This page” tab.See_Unpublish_Impact_page_in_CMS_plugin_with_URL_shortener_section_highlighted
  • When viewing the impact of un-publishing a page via the “See Unpublish Impact” button.Main_impact_sectoin_of_CMS_Plugin
