Slug already taken: 409 error when creating a short link

Why this happens

Because the slug is part of the public URL and serves as a single routing key, any duplicate inside the same tenant is rejected with a 409 plus alternatives.

What Vareons does about it

The form validates the format before sending; on duplication the server shows suggested alternatives with an auto-generate button for a unique slug, and the link is created through POST /api/dashboard/shortlinks, then managed from the Manage tab.

Limitations

Slugs cap at 50 characters in a restricted format with no spaces; deleted old links may release their slug depending on retention policy.
