# What I'm Learning: Creating Short URLs within a Google Spreadsheet

I really wanted to figure out a way to shorten links for use in [Autocrat](http://youpd.org/autocrat) and [FormMule](http://youpd.org/formmule), but I couldn’t figure out a good way of doing it using Goo.gl or Bit.ly. This is a great option, and with the CopyDown features in both scripts, the workflow could not be simpler.
