Additional Settings

Enable URL shortening and message expiry for an RCS campaign on the OneXtel portal.

The Additional Settings section of the campaign creation form contains two optional features: URL Shortener in Body and Message Expiry. Click Additional Settings in the campaign form to expand it.

URL Shortener in Body

Shortens URLs contained in the message body, optionally capturing the recipient’s location when the short link is clicked.

1. Enable the shortener

   Select the URL Shortener in Body checkbox. The Short URL dialog opens.

2. Configure the short URL

   Enter the following fields:

   Field	Description
   URL	Select the long URL to be shortened from the dropdown list.
   Get Location	Select the checkbox to capture the recipient’s location when the short link is clicked.
   Shorten all URLs in the message	Select the radio button to shorten every URL present in the message body.
   Shorten URLs in specific variables only	Use this option to shorten only the URLs placed in selected variable fields.

   The dialog also shows the Selected Template and the variables available in it (e.g., link).

3. Apply

   Click Short to apply, or Cancel to close without shortening.

Message Expiry

Sets when your RCS message should expire. Once expired, the message is revoked and cannot be delivered.

1. Enable message expiry

   Select the Message Expiry checkbox. The Message Expiry Settings dialog opens.

2. Choose the expiry type

   Expiry type	Behavior
   Duration from send time (TTL)	Message expires after a set duration from the time it’s sent.
   Absolute expiry time	Message expires at a specific date and time.

3. Set the duration (TTL)

   For TTL expiry, enter the expiry duration value in Duration (TTL) (e.g., 3.5s, 30m, 2h, 1d) and choose the unit of time from the Time Unit dropdown (Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days).

4. Save

   Click Save Expiry Settings to save the configured expiry settings, or Cancel to close the dialog without saving changes.
