    Yes please - we have this need too, as we would like to include a link (address moreso) to a survey for residents to fill out, and they receive that address on a hard copy letter in their letterbox. The current GUID address is far too long to type out, and using the like of Bit-ly and TinyURL is just too dodgy for viruses, etc - and doesn't look that professional either. Please build a MS Forms option for this... very much requested! Thanks

    I found in flow runs from last week shortened invitation links like *.dcv.ms/10CharacterHash

    It would be very helpful, if there could be also an option to activate custom domains (also available in Power Automate). We are sending it to our customers using channels where we can't hide the URL behind a text.

    I would prefer the URL to be like how SharePoint was designed.
    e.g. "forms.domain.com/form_name" something like this perhaps, it would look more professional.

    I guess you know the importance of shorten link already..... You choose to share shorten link to fill the survey.

    I totally support this. The URL for forms is way too long. In some cases participants can not access the form via the QR code. A shortened hyperlink would be beneficial in these cases.

    We use MS forms a lot when we're doing web trainings - but pasting that link into a chatbox? It takes up the whole page! Need a way to shorten it.
