🛠️That’s right folks, it's yet another FREE ServiceNow tool on SN Pro Tips!🔧

EDIT: Because some scammer used this URL-shortener for nefarious purposes, it’s been shut down.

Sorry, chums.
Scammers gonna scam.

URL Shortener

URL slug:

go.snc.guru/ Redirect URL:

Submitting...

This one is a URL Shortener that uses the fancy-fun-fresh "snc.guru" domain, so you can look like a really heckin' hoopy frood when you share a link to your blog post, a resource you found, etc.

Create short, memorable, easy quick-links with the easy-to-remember pattern: go.snc.guru/your_thing

Start creating your own custom ServiceNow-ey short-URLs with snc.guru with just a few clicks, at the following link:

Follow Tim on LinkedIn

🔗short.snc.guru🔗

(Or you can just go to snc.guru.)

What’s that?
You, like me, are too lazy to click a link?
Well, snap.
Fine, I’ll embed the URL shortener in this blog post, too.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?

You’re not?
Because the world is falling apart and it seems like everything and everyone is drifting toward insanity, and you can’t see a way for things to ever get back to normal?
Yeah… fair.

But hey, at least you’ll have a super snazzy short-URL to use when you send people links to articles about why your opinions are right and theirs are wrong and therefore they’re objectively evil!

So, you know, you got that going for ya’.

…Anyway… subscribe? - And don’t forget to check out our couple dozen other completely free tools in the Tools menu at the top of this page!

Note: SN Pro Tips and the snc.guru URL shortener is in no way directly associated with ServiceNow. This service is run by me, Tim Woodruff, and is not endorsed, paid for, or supported by ServiceNow.
