Unique Slug for Connection Opportunities

Unique Slug for Connection Opportunities

Connection

Allow Connection Opportunities to have unique slugs that create clean, shareable URLs for easier navigation and distribution.

The feature would enable users to define a memorable and relevant slug for each connection opportunity, making sharing and linking to specific opportunities easier. This would eliminate the need for short links or redirects, ensuring that URLs are clean and follow a predictable, consistent route structure across the site.

Clean, shareable links make it easier for congregants and visitors to find and sign up for connection opportunities. Churches often share opportunities across multiple platforms (email, social media, bulletins), and having a customizable slug would simplify and unify the sharing process.

Currently, there is no efficient way to create clean URLs for Connection Opportunities without using workarounds like short links or manual redirects. These methods can be cumbersome and may not perform as well as an integrated slug feature. A unique slug system aligns with the organization’s goals of improving user experience, making opportunities more accessible, and streamlining processes for both staff and congregants.
