How comfortable are you with writing code? There are some built in hooks and filters to access the process at different stages.
Also, there is a checkbox on the settings page to auto-generate links on both publish and when scheduled content posts, so that may also solve the problem.
Hello Andrew, and thank you for your speedy reply!
I am quite comfortable writing PHP code (30 years as a developer) so any internal hooks you can suggest will be greatly appreciated! I have built a subroutine in functions.php which schedules a series of tweets and Facebook posts when a post goes live, using custom meta fields. These all depend on your plug-in for the Yourls value.
Really appreciate your help! Cheers!
fantastic! in the admin.php file of the plugin, there is an action called yourls_after_url_save which passes the post ID and the newly generated short URL. That should cover all your use cases for using the shortlink and passing it to whatever other functions you’ve got.
Andrew, please forgive my delay in responding. Your suggestion was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much for writing and supporting such a great plug-in.
Happy new year!

fantastic! glad I could help.
