## Default Shorteners

Lucy comes with two shorteners pre-configured; [bit.ly](https://bitly.com/pages/landing/url-shortener) and [is.gd](https://is.gd/).

These services are ready to use and cannot be edited.

***

## Custom Shortener

Administrators can configure a custom URL shortening service for use in Lucy campaigns. This feature enables the integration of proprietary or third-party shorteners when embedded services are not suitable.
