Adding and Using 2s.ms/HEADER/ in Cuttly's Team Dashboard

Important Notes: Responsibility for Compliance: Users are responsible for registering their HEADER and static URL with TRAI's DLT platform. Cuttly provides the tools to manage shortened links in the 2s.ms domain but is not responsible for sending SMS messages or ensuring registration with TRAI. Cuttly does not handle SMS delivery or the content of your messages, but it offers a URL shortening tool to create links compliant with TRAI’s guidelines.

The domain 2s.ms is publicly available solely for shortening SMS links with HEADERs. This service addresses the implementation of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) regulations for SMS messages. Cuttly developed this Generic SMS Shortener to help users comply with TRAI's rules, particularly ensuring that URLs adhere to the 30-character limit while leaving space for the short link alias or unique short link ID.

Steps for Adding 2s.ms/HEADER/ to a Team in Cuttly:

1. Team Owner Access: Only the team owner can add a custom domain, including 2s.ms, to a team.

2. Add Domain to Owner’s Dashboard: The 2s.ms/HEADER/ domain must first be added to the owner’s primary/main dashboard (not Team dashbaord) before adding it to a team. This process is described in detail here: 2s.ms for TRAI Compliance.
