Overview

This node updates an existing shortened URL in the Qlynk service. It requires the short code of the URL to update and allows optional updates to the original URL, title, description, indexing status, and category ID. It is useful for managing and modifying shortened links dynamically, such as changing the destination URL, updating metadata, or organizing links into categories.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the destination URL of a shortened link when the original page changes.
  2. Adding or modifying the title and description of a link for better context or SEO.
  3. Changing the category of a link to reorganize link collections.
  4. Setting whether a link should be indexed by search engines.

Output

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • If the 'short_code' parameter is missing or empty, the node throws an error indicating it is required.
  • If the specified short code does not exist, the node returns a 404 status with a message 'URL not found - cannot update'.
  • Ensure the API key credential is valid and has permissions to update URLs in Qlynk.
  • If the node is set to continue on fail, errors will be returned in the output JSON instead of stopping execution.
