Automated URL Shortening, Tracking, and Dashboard in WordPress

This n8n workflow automates the process of shortening URLs, tracking clicks, storing data, and displaying real-time analytics on a custom WordPress dashboard. It starts with a webhook trigger receiving a URL, generates a unique shortened link using SHA256 hashing, checks for existing entries in Airtable, and either creates a new record or retrieves the existing short URL. Additionally, it tracks user clicks via another webhook, updates click counts in Airtable, and finally presents a dynamic HTML dashboard showing total links, clicks, and hosts, along with geographical statistics from the stored link data. This workflow is ideal for URL management solutions, marketing campaigns, or analytics tools integrated within WordPress sites.
