What are Custom URLs?
Custom URLs let petition starters create a short, memorable link for their petition—perfect for sharing on social, print, and email.
How do I create a Custom URL for my petition?
- Log in to SignItNow and open your petition’s Dashboard.
- In Share your petition, click Edit your link.
- Enter your custom text and Save.
If you don’t see Edit your link, the feature isn’t available on your account yet. We’re rolling it out gradually.
What can I use in my Custom URL?
- Length: 10–100 characters
- Allowed: letters, numbers, dashes (-), underscores (_)
- Not allowed: other special characters or spaces
- You can use CAPITALS for readability (the link will still work in any case).
Custom URLs must be unique and follow our Community Guidelines. We may remove URLs that are abusive, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate.
Can I change my Custom URL later?
No. Once created, a Custom URL can’t be edited. If you made a mistake, contact us and we can remove the current URL so you can create a new one.
How do I delete my Custom URL?
Email contact@signitnow.org with your petition link and we’ll help remove it.
How long until my Custom URL works?
It should work immediately. If it doesn’t, refresh the page and try again in a few minutes. Still not working? Reach us at contact@signitnow.org.
Tips
- Keep it short and clear (e.g.,
signitnow.org/p/save-our-park). - Avoid dates or very specific numbers you might outgrow.
- Don’t use names or brands you don’t own.
