How do I share a link in a message?

Last updated: November 5, 2026

Share a link in a conversation by pasting the full URL into the message composer and sending it to the contact.

Before you start

  • Copy the full URL you want to send.

  • Test the URL in your browser if you are not sure it works.

Steps

  1. Open Inbox.

  2. Open the conversation where you want to send the link.

  3. Paste the full URL into the message editor.

  4. Add a short explanation so the contact knows what the link is for.

  5. Select Send.

Tips

  • Use complete URLs that start with http:// or https://.

  • Add context before the link to improve trust and clarity.

  • Test important links before sending them.

  • Use tracked links when you need link-click analytics.

Troubleshooting

  • If a link does not shorten or track, confirm it is a complete external URL.

  • If the link does not open, test the original URL in a browser.

  • If a message is filtered, try sending a simple text message first, then follow up with the link.
