Bitly

The Bitly modules enable you to shorten links, expand links and list links in your Bitly account.

Getting Started with Bitly

Prerequisites

A Bitly account

In order to use Bitly with Integromat, it is necessary to have a Bitly account. If you do not have one, you can create a Bitly account at bitly.com.

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Integromat scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!

Connecting Bitly to Integromat

To connect your Bitly account to Integromat follow the general instructions for Connecting to services.

After you click the Continue button, Integromat will redirect you to the Bitly website where you will be prompted to grant Integromat access to your account.
