How to set redirect URLS

Within BentoBox you can set a redirect in order to display a shorter or modified version of a URL that will then push to the longer version of the URL in the website. 

Here you will learn how to create a redirect: 

You can set two different types of redirects: Internal and External.

1. Internal redirects are used to shorten URLs from your website, ie. to promote an event on social media or printed collateral.

Example:
When you go to this vanity URL https://copenhagenbistros.getbento.com/bar-snack it will take you directly to your destination URL: https://copenhagenbistros.getbento.com/event/check-us-out-at-v-bar/

2. External redirects are used to create vanity URLs that link out from your website to another website.

Example:
When you go to this vanity URL https://copenhagenbistros.getbento.com/instagram it will take you directly to your destination URL: https://www.instagram.com/getbento/

To create either type of redirect:

• Settings > Redirect
• Click "Add New"
• You'll see two fields Vanity URL + Destination URL
• Vanity URL: this is the link you want to use
• Destination URL: this is the destination of your new URL
