Selecting the right name can be the difference between teammates quickly accessing your go link, or having to search GoLinks just to find a link. We recommend keeping the go links name short and intuitive. To help create a memorable name, you should be aware of the following naming constraints:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Golinks naming conventions can only have the following characters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A through Z<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Number 0 through 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>underscore character _<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>dash character &#8211;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Any ASCII character supported by most languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are also some additional requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>No emojis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No special characters other than _ and &#8211;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will see <code>\"d\" is reserved for our directory. Select another link name.<\/code> if you try to create go\/d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only lowercase characters can be used<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No spaces<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-faqs\">FAQs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Why does it say that the golink already exists, but the punctuation is different?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>A golinks name will resolve regardless of the underscore or dash characters when using it as a redirect. You can create a golink name with punctuation, for example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golinks.io\/all-hands\">go\/all-hands<\/a>, and any of the equivalent golinks will resolve. For example <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golinks.io\/all_hands\">go\/all_hands<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golinks.io\/allhands\">go\/allhands<\/a>. This pattern helps remove confusion when shared verbally. For this reason, you may not create duplicate golinks with different punctuation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>I received the error \u201cd\u201d is reserved for our directory. Select another link name.<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>The golink go\/d is reserved for the golinks directory, so it cannot be used. You can use any other single character for your golink needs but this one is reserved for implementation purposes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I use emojis in golinks?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>At this time you cannot use emojis in golinks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Can I use Japanese characters in golinks?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes! You can create and use golinks in any language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Does golinks work with Armenian characters?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes! Golinks work in all languages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do golinks work in any language?<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li>Golinks can be created and resolved in any language. The default language for the app is English, but the Chrome Browser can translate the dashboard in any other language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-follow-the-getting-started-guide-for-additional-help-with-naming-your-go-links\">Follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golinks.com\/help\/getting-started\/\">Getting Started guide<\/a> for additional help with naming your go links!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When creating a go link, it is important to name it something that can easily be remembered by your team.
