Our site administrators might have placed a limit on the number of Likes that your group should have for enabling of short URL for it. Once your group exceeds this limit, the URL of your group will be shortened automatically.

The URL component for the Vanity URL of your group, should be indicative of the Title of your group or closest possible to the name of your group / organization. Vanity URLs can contain alphabets, numbers, underscores and dashes only. Its length should be in the range of 3-255 characters.

Customized Vanity URLs for your group enable URL of your group to be made short and more human readable. Such short URLs are easy to identify and share by your potential fans and others because of their similarity to your group’s / group’s / organization’s name. Thus, Vanity URLs also make it easier for you to direct others to your group.

Some URLs are internally used by our website and thus, are not claimable as short URLs for groups. So, the system restricts you from selecting such URLs for your groups. Also, we suggest you to enter a  valid URL component for your group which does not include special characters (like ".", “,”, etc) in it and is similar to your group’s Title.

You can set a Vanity URL for your group by entering a valid URL component / username for it in the “URL” field while group creation. You can also check for the URL availability by clicking on “Check Availability” button.
Based on the URL component chosen by you, the short URL will be automatically assigned to your group, after your group gets the minimum number of likes, as set by our administrators.
In case your vanity URL matches one of the site’s restricted URLs, then the short URL will not be assigned even after your group reaches the minimum number of likes. In this case, depending on the URL component mentioned by you, our administrators may assign a related short URL to your group.
