The links within the email pull customer specific information from our database. (customer name, ID, etc) for tracking purposes on the back end. This is the reason I can't pre shorten the links. I may be up a creek and not able to solve this issue. I was hoping there was some sort of script that could shorten the link, or divert it to a url that automatically shortens and posts to twitter.
