# URL Shortener - Instagram

It is possible to track the source of leads through SprintHub's URL shortener. Now, this feature is also available as an Instagram button.

The **ig.me** is a Meta tool for shortening URLs that directs users to a conversation on Instagram. When clicking an ig.me link, the user will be taken to a new conversation or an existing chat with your Instagram account, depending on message history.

#### To set up, follow the steps below:

1. Access **URL Shortener**.

1. Click **+ New**.
2. Type the **First name**.
3. In the URL, use the link format with the username:

   `https://ig.me/username`

It will look like this:

After that, you can copy the shortened link by clicking the corresponding button.

When the lead clicks the shortened link, they will be directed to your direct messages, and a service session will be automatically started, even if the lead does not send a message.
