Automated URL Shortening and Analytics Dashboard

This n8n workflow automates URL shortening, URL validation, duplicate detection, and user interaction tracking, all integrated with Airtable and a custom web dashboard. When a user submits a URL via a webhook, the workflow hashes the URL for creating a unique short link, checks for duplicates in Airtable, and stores new links. It also tracks clicks on shortened URLs, updates click counts, and provides a real-time dashboard displaying total links, clicks, and unique hosts. Practical uses include URL management, link tracking, and analytics for marketing campaigns or content sharing platforms.
