How to create a tx.ag link

(Short link to this page: tx.ag/HowToTXAG)

Anyone with an AggieNetwork.com login can create short custom links using The Association’s tx.ag shortener. This is a free service thanks to Association donors; it was built by The Association's web team!

Once you create a tx.ag link, you'll be the only person who can edit that link. Therefore, it's generally a good practice to make your link short but specific: tx.ag/PecosMuster2021, for example, instead of tx.ag/Muster (which is already taken).

Steps:

• Log in to AggieNetwork.com.
• Go to https://tx.ag.
• Paste your long link into the “Create link” box.
• This will create a new, short url that begins with tx.ag and contains some random characters.
• To customize your link: Select “Edit” and replace the random characters with a short, specific name, such as “PecosMuster2021.”
• Choose this name wisely! Once you create it, you’ll be the only person who can edit that link.

For example, say that sometime in the past, another volunteer created tx.ag/PecosMuster, and it links to your group's 2017 Muster information. Only that person can edit tx.ag/PecosMuster to point it to your current information. This is why in most cases we suggest using something specific to the year and event (but still short).

• To redirect a tx.ag link that you created, go to https://tx.ag and find it using “Filter your links.” Then “Edit” it and paste the new destination into “Set destination url.”
• If someone created a tx.ag link for your Association-affiliated group that you’d like to reclaim, The Association may be able to help you recover it. Contact your Association liaison!
