The slug is the custom part of your link URL that comes after the domain. For example, in bouncy.ai/my-link, the slug is my-link.
Slug Rules
Your slug must follow these rules:
3–50 characters long
Letters, numbers, and hyphens only (a–z, A–Z, 0–9, -)
No consecutive hyphens (e.g.,
my--linkis not allowed)No leading or trailing hyphens (e.g.,
-my-linkormy-link-are not allowed)Must be unique — no other link on the same domain can use the same slug
Tips for Good Slugs

Custom Domains with Paths
If you're using a custom domain with the Path option (instead of Root), you'll have an additional sub-path field. For example:
Domain:
links.yourbrand.comPath:
summer-campaignResult:
links.yourbrand.com/summer-campaign
Reserved Slugs
Some slugs are reserved by Bouncy for system use and cannot be used. If you try to use a reserved slug, you'll see an error message.
Changing a Slug After Creation
Slugs cannot be changed after a link is created. If you need a different slug:
Create a new deeplink with your desired slug
Copy over the settings from the old link (or use the Duplicate feature)
Delete the old link to free up the original slug
