You can integrate this app with your slack account and shorten directly from the slack interface using the command line below. This slack integration will save all of your links in your account in case you need to access them later. Please see below how to use the command.
The slack command will return you the short link if everything goes well. In case there is an error, it will return you the original link. If you use the custom parameter and the alias is already taken, the script will automatically increment the alias by 1 - this means if you choose 'google' and 'google' is not available, the script will use google-1
